Now, list down the factors of 970
:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Now, list down the factors of 845
:1,5,13,65,169,845
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 970,845 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 970,845 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25917
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/25917
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/163,845/159 is 5/25917
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 163,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,159) = ( 163 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(163,159) = 25917 / 1
LCM(163,159) = 25917
