Lets's calculate LCM of 159,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37365
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/37365
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 129/159,8820/235 is 3/37365
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 159,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,235) = ( 159 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(159,235) = 37365 / 1
LCM(159,235) = 37365
