Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/55,158/146 is 2/8030
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 55,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,146) = ( 55 × 146 ) / 1
LCM(55,146) = 8030 / 1
LCM(55,146) = 8030
