Now, list down the factors of 187
:1,11,17,187
Now, list down the factors of 153
:1,3,9,17,51,153
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,153 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,153 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/46455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/95,153/489 is 17/46455
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 95,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,489) = ( 95 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(95,489) = 46455 / 1
LCM(95,489) = 46455
