Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 205,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 205,158 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 835,982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 819970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/819970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 205/835,158/982 is 1/819970
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 835,982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(835,982) = ( 835 × 982 ) / 1
LCM(835,982) = 819970 / 1
LCM(835,982) = 819970
