Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4204,3604 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4204,3604 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/22197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4204/147,3604/151 is 4/22197
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 147,151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(147,151) = ( 147 × 151 ) / 1
LCM(147,151) = 22197 / 1
LCM(147,151) = 22197
