Lets's calculate LCM of 535,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85065
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85065
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/535,668/159 is 2/85065
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 535,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,159) = ( 535 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(535,159) = 85065 / 1
LCM(535,159) = 85065
