:1,2,3,6,101,202,303,606
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,606 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,606 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/91798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/158,606/581 is 6/91798
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 158,581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,581) = ( 158 × 581 ) / 1
LCM(158,581) = 91798 / 1
LCM(158,581) = 91798
