Greatest Common Factor of 2/158,6/229

Given fractions are 2/158,6/229

Formula to find GCF of Fractions is

GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators

As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators

In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 2,6

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2,6 is 2 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 158,229 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 158,229 is 36182 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 2,6

GCF of Fractions 2/158,6/229 is 2/36182

2 2, 6
1, 3

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 2,6 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,6 is 2.

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 = 2/36182

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/158,6/229 is 2/36182

Least Common Multiple of 158,229 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 158,229 with GCF Formula

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
