Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 299,939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 299,939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,636
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 299/251,939/636 is 1/159636
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 251,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,636) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,636) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,636) = ( 251 × 636 ) / 1
LCM(251,636) = 159636 / 1
LCM(251,636) = 159636
