The factors of 159 are 1, 3, 53, 159
The HCF of 297,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 297,159
3 | 297, 159 |
99, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 297
:1,3,9,11,27,33,99,297
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 297,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 297,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5275
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5275
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 297/25,159/211 is 3/5275
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 25,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,211) = ( 25 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(25,211) = 5275 / 1
LCM(25,211) = 5275
