Lets's calculate LCM of 153,181

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27693

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/27693

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/153,501/181 is 3/27693

Least Common Multiple of 153,181 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 153,181 with GCF Formula

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 153,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(153,181) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(153,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(153,181) = ( 153 × 181 ) / 1

LCM(153,181) = 27693 / 1

LCM(153,181) = 27693
