So the greatest common factor 5667,8622 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,298
2 | 158, 298 |
79, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 149 = 23542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5667/158,8622/298 is 3/23542
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 158,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,298) = ( 158 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(158,298) = 47084 / 2
LCM(158,298) = 23542
