The factors of 143 are 1, 11, 13, 143
The HCF of 663,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate GCF of 663,143
13 | 663, 143 |
51, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 663
:1,3,13,17,39,51,221,663
Now, list down the factors of 143
:1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 663,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 663,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/4134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 663/26,143/159 is 13/4134
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 26,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,159) = ( 26 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(26,159) = 4134 / 1
LCM(26,159) = 4134
