So the greatest common factor 5045,4300 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,202
| 2 | 158, 202 |
| 79, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 101 = 15958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/15958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5045/158,4300/202 is 5/15958
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 158,202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,202) = ( 158 × 202 ) / 2
LCM(158,202) = 31916 / 2
LCM(158,202) = 15958
