Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 952,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 952,238 is 238.
Lets's calculate LCM of 138,925
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 238/127650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 952/138,238/925 is 238/127650
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 138,925 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(138,925) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(138,925) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(138,925) = ( 138 × 925 ) / 1
LCM(138,925) = 127650 / 1
LCM(138,925) = 127650
