:1,5,197,985
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 985,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 985,158 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 412,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/412,158/185 is 1/76220
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 412,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(412,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(412,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(412,185) = ( 412 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(412,185) = 76220 / 1
LCM(412,185) = 76220
