We found the factors 155,3005 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,3005 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,3168
3 | 141, 3168 |
47, 1056 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 47 x 1056 = 148896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/148896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/141,3005/3168 is 5/148896
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 141,3168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,3168) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,3168) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(141,3168) = ( 141 × 3168 ) / 3
LCM(141,3168) = 446688 / 3
LCM(141,3168) = 148896
