The factors of 159 are 1, 3, 53, 159
The HCF of 213,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 213,159
3 | 213, 159 |
71, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 213
:1,3,71,213
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 213,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 213,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 469,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 98959
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/98959
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 213/469,159/211 is 3/98959
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 469,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,211) = ( 469 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(469,211) = 98959 / 1
LCM(469,211) = 98959
