Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6238,2665 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6238,2665 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 140358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/140358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6238/942,2665/149 is 1/140358
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 942,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,149) = ( 942 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(942,149) = 140358 / 1
LCM(942,149) = 140358
