Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5371,1797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5371,1797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,153
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/146574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5371/958,1797/153 is 1/146574
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 958,153 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,153) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,153) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(958,153) = ( 958 × 153 ) / 1
LCM(958,153) = 146574 / 1
LCM(958,153) = 146574
