Now, list down the factors of 7179
:1,3,2393,7179
Now, list down the factors of 1386
:1,2,3,6,7,9,11,14,18,21,22,33,42,63,66,77,99,126,154,198,231,462,693,1386
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7179,1386 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7179,1386 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 130,156
2 | 130, 156 |
13 | 65, 78 |
5, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 5 x 6 = 780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7179/130,1386/156 is 3/780
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 130,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,156) = 26
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,156) x common factors =26 x 1 = 26
LCM(130,156) = ( 130 × 156 ) / 26
LCM(130,156) = 20280 / 26
LCM(130,156) = 780
