Lets's calculate GCF of 869,158
79 | 869, 158 |
11, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 79 = 79
Now, list down the factors of 869
:1,11,79,869
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 869,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 869,158 is 79.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,903
3 | 15, 903 |
5, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 301 = 4515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 79/4515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 869/15,158/903 is 79/4515
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 15,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,903) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,903) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,903) = ( 15 × 903 ) / 3
LCM(15,903) = 13545 / 3
LCM(15,903) = 4515
