1,3,5,15,107,321,535,1605
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1162,1605 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1162,1605 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 260,738
2 | 260, 738 |
130, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 130 x 369 = 95940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/95940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1162/260,1605/738 is 1/95940
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 260,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(260,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(260,738) = ( 260 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(260,738) = 191880 / 2
LCM(260,738) = 95940
