:1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,874 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 350,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/55650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/350,874/159 is 46/55650
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 350,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(350,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(350,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(350,159) = ( 350 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(350,159) = 55650 / 1
LCM(350,159) = 55650
