:1,751
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 751,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 751,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,316
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 230996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/230996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 751/731,159/316 is 1/230996
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 731,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,316) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,316) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,316) = ( 731 × 316 ) / 1
LCM(731,316) = 230996 / 1
LCM(731,316) = 230996
