Now, list down the factors of 299
:1,13,23,299
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 299,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 299,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 299/98,159/733 is 1/71834
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 98,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,733) = ( 98 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(98,733) = 71834 / 1
LCM(98,733) = 71834
