Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 739,232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 739,232 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,555
3 | 159, 555 |
53, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 185 = 29415
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29415
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 739/159,232/555 is 1/29415
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 159,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,555) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,555) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,555) = ( 159 × 555 ) / 3
LCM(159,555) = 88245 / 3
LCM(159,555) = 29415
