1,23,389,8947
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 590,8947 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 590,8947 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 194,156
2 | 194, 156 |
97, 78 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 97 x 78 = 15132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/194,8947/156 is 1/15132
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 194,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,156) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(194,156) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(194,156) = ( 194 × 156 ) / 2
LCM(194,156) = 30264 / 2
LCM(194,156) = 15132
