We found the factors 999,888 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,888 is 111.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 111/36182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/158,888/229 is 111/36182
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 158,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,229) = ( 158 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(158,229) = 36182 / 1
LCM(158,229) = 36182
