Now, list down the factors of 624
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,13,16,24,26,39,48,52,78,104,156,208,312,624
Now, list down the factors of 960
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 624,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 624,960 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/6162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/39,960/158 is 48/6162
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 39,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(39,158) = ( 39 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(39,158) = 6162 / 1
LCM(39,158) = 6162
