So the greatest common factor 959,437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,584
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/149,437/584 is 1/87016
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 149,584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,584) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,584) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,584) = ( 149 × 584 ) / 1
LCM(149,584) = 87016 / 1
LCM(149,584) = 87016
