:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 265,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 265,960 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 955,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/169990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 265/955,960/178 is 5/169990
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 955,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(955,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(955,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(955,178) = ( 955 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(955,178) = 169990 / 1
LCM(955,178) = 169990
