Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4518,1502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4518,1502 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4518/143,1502/151 is 2/21593
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 143,151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,151) = ( 143 × 151 ) / 1
LCM(143,151) = 21593 / 1
LCM(143,151) = 21593
