Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 290,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/290,259/147 is 1/42630
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 290,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(290,147) = ( 290 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(290,147) = 42630 / 1
LCM(290,147) = 42630
