:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48,101,202,303,404,606,808,1212,1616,2424,4848
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2511,4848 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2511,4848 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,168
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/26376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2511/157,4848/168 is 3/26376
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 157,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,168) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,168) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,168) = ( 157 × 168 ) / 1
LCM(157,168) = 26376 / 1
LCM(157,168) = 26376
