:1,2,4,8,113,226,452,904
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 904,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 904,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 904/37,159/427 is 1/15799
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 37,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,427) = ( 37 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(37,427) = 15799 / 1
LCM(37,427) = 15799
