Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,541 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,541 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 891,900
3 | 891, 900 |
3 | 297, 300 |
99, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 99 x 100 = 89100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/891,541/900 is 1/89100
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 891,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(891,900) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(891,900) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(891,900) = ( 891 × 900 ) / 9
LCM(891,900) = 801900 / 9
LCM(891,900) = 89100
