Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4000,4056 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4000,4056 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,4533
3 | 159, 4533 |
53, 1511 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 1511 = 240249
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/240249
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4000/159,4056/4533 is 8/240249
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 159,4533 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,4533) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,4533) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,4533) = ( 159 × 4533 ) / 3
LCM(159,4533) = 720747 / 3
LCM(159,4533) = 240249
