:1,2,13,23,26,46,299,598
Now, list down the factors of 166
:1,2,83,166
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 598,166 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 598,166 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/177045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/957,166/185 is 2/177045
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 957,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,185) = ( 957 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(957,185) = 177045 / 1
LCM(957,185) = 177045
