Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 259,395 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 259,395 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/137,395/374 is 1/51238
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 137,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,374) = ( 137 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(137,374) = 51238 / 1
LCM(137,374) = 51238
