1,2,5,10,359,718,1795,3590
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1138,3590 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1138,3590 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 68098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/68098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1138/158,3590/431 is 2/68098
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 158,431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,431) = ( 158 × 431 ) / 1
LCM(158,431) = 68098 / 1
LCM(158,431) = 68098
