:1,2,4,179,358,716
Now, list down the factors of 149
:1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 716,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 716,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,537
3 | 72, 537 |
24, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 24 x 179 = 12888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/72,149/537 is 1/12888
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 72,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(72,537) = ( 72 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(72,537) = 38664 / 3
LCM(72,537) = 12888
