Lets's calculate LCM of 158,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/21962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3006/158,4866/139 is 6/21962
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 158,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,139) = ( 158 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(158,139) = 21962 / 1
LCM(158,139) = 21962
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
