So the greatest common factor 2087,1620 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,3045
3 | 159, 3045 |
53, 1015 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 1015 = 161385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2087/159,1620/3045 is 1/161385
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 159,3045 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,3045) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,3045) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,3045) = ( 159 × 3045 ) / 3
LCM(159,3045) = 484155 / 3
LCM(159,3045) = 161385
