Now, list down the factors of 699
:1,3,233,699
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 699,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 699,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,447
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/63921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 699/143,159/447 is 3/63921
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 143,447 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,447) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,447) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,447) = ( 143 × 447 ) / 1
LCM(143,447) = 63921 / 1
LCM(143,447) = 63921
