Lets's calculate GCF of 819,158
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 819
:1,3,7,9,13,21,39,63,91,117,273,819
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 819,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 819,158 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 819/41,158/378 is 1/15498
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 41,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,378) = ( 41 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(41,378) = 15498 / 1
LCM(41,378) = 15498
