Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5994,6143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5994,6143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,536
2 | 158, 536 |
79, 268 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 268 = 42344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5994/158,6143/536 is 1/42344
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 158,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,536) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,536) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,536) = ( 158 × 536 ) / 2
LCM(158,536) = 84688 / 2
LCM(158,536) = 42344
