So the greatest common factor 430,926 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 430/157,926/236 is 2/37052
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 157,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,236) = ( 157 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(157,236) = 37052 / 1
LCM(157,236) = 37052
