:1,139
Now, list down the factors of 387
:1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 139,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 139,387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,320
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 139/159,387/320 is 1/50880
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 159,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,320) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,320) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,320) = ( 159 × 320 ) / 1
LCM(159,320) = 50880 / 1
LCM(159,320) = 50880
