Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1168,6559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1168,6559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 459,252
3 | 459, 252 |
3 | 153, 84 |
51, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 51 x 28 = 12852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1168/459,6559/252 is 1/12852
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 459,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(459,252) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(459,252) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(459,252) = ( 459 × 252 ) / 9
LCM(459,252) = 115668 / 9
LCM(459,252) = 12852
