2 | 158, 958 |
79, 479 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 479 = 75682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/75682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/158,829/958 is 1/75682
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 158,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,958) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,958) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,958) = ( 158 × 958 ) / 2
LCM(158,958) = 151364 / 2
LCM(158,958) = 75682
