Lets's calculate LCM of 181,181
181 | 181, 181 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 181 x 1 x 1 = 181
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 299/181,738/181 is 1/181
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 181,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,181) = 181
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,181) x common factors =181 x 1 = 181
LCM(181,181) = ( 181 × 181 ) / 181
LCM(181,181) = 32761 / 181
LCM(181,181) = 181
