So the greatest common factor 731,4800 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 689,159
53 | 689, 159 |
13, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 53 x 13 x 3 = 2067
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2067
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/689,4800/159 is 1/2067
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 689,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(689,159) = 53
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(689,159) x common factors =53 x 1 = 53
LCM(689,159) = ( 689 × 159 ) / 53
LCM(689,159) = 109551 / 53
LCM(689,159) = 2067
