So the greatest common factor 9542,8916 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29141
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29141
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9542/161,8916/181 is 2/29141
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 161,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,181) = ( 161 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(161,181) = 29141 / 1
LCM(161,181) = 29141
