Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5172,2133 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5172,2133 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,214
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/34026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5172/159,2133/214 is 3/34026
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 159,214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,214) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,214) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,214) = ( 159 × 214 ) / 1
LCM(159,214) = 34026 / 1
LCM(159,214) = 34026
