Lets's calculate LCM of 181,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/181,1816/659 is 1/119279
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 181,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(181,659) = ( 181 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(181,659) = 119279 / 1
LCM(181,659) = 119279
