:1,11,59,649
Now, list down the factors of 157
:1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 649,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 649,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 649/45,157/442 is 1/19890
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 45,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,442) = ( 45 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(45,442) = 19890 / 1
LCM(45,442) = 19890
