Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2008,7220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2008,7220 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,3149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 500691
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/500691
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/159,7220/3149 is 4/500691
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 159,3149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,3149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,3149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,3149) = ( 159 × 3149 ) / 1
LCM(159,3149) = 500691 / 1
LCM(159,3149) = 500691
