1,2,3,6,433,866,1299,2598
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6134,2598 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6134,2598 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 223,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35457
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35457
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6134/223,2598/159 is 2/35457
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 223,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,159) = ( 223 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(223,159) = 35457 / 1
LCM(223,159) = 35457
