Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 930,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 930,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,5759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 241878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/241878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 930/42,159/5759 is 3/241878
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 42,5759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,5759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,5759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,5759) = ( 42 × 5759 ) / 1
LCM(42,5759) = 241878 / 1
LCM(42,5759) = 241878
