:1,3,17,51,109,327,1853,5559
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1755,5559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1755,5559 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,160
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/132960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1755/831,5559/160 is 3/132960
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 831,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,160) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,160) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,160) = ( 831 × 160 ) / 1
LCM(831,160) = 132960 / 1
LCM(831,160) = 132960
