Lets's calculate GCF of 459,159
3 | 459, 159 |
153, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 459
:1,3,9,17,27,51,153,459
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 459,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 459,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,375
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148875
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/148875
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 459/397,159/375 is 3/148875
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 397,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,375) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,375) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,375) = ( 397 × 375 ) / 1
LCM(397,375) = 148875 / 1
LCM(397,375) = 148875
