Lets's calculate LCM of 159,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/44202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 648/159,584/278 is 8/44202
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 159,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,278) = ( 159 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(159,278) = 44202 / 1
LCM(159,278) = 44202
