So the greatest common factor 524,812 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 117,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/18486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/117,812/158 is 4/18486
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 117,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,158) = ( 117 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(117,158) = 18486 / 1
LCM(117,158) = 18486
