So the greatest common factor 553,8697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 154,302
2 | 154, 302 |
77, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 77 x 151 = 23254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/154,8697/302 is 1/23254
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 154,302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(154,302) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(154,302) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(154,302) = ( 154 × 302 ) / 2
LCM(154,302) = 46508 / 2
LCM(154,302) = 23254
