The HCF of 159,950 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 159,950
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Now, list down the factors of 950
:1,2,5,10,19,25,38,50,95,190,475,950
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,950 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 761,966
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 735126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/735126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/761,950/966 is 1/735126
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 761,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,966) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,966) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,966) = ( 761 × 966 ) / 1
LCM(761,966) = 735126 / 1
LCM(761,966) = 735126
