Lets's calculate LCM of 159,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133719
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/133719
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/159,280/841 is 8/133719
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 159,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,841) = ( 159 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(159,841) = 133719 / 1
LCM(159,841) = 133719
