Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,9464 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,9464 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/133532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/251,9464/532 is 2/133532
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 251,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,532) = ( 251 × 532 ) / 1
LCM(251,532) = 133532 / 1
LCM(251,532) = 133532
