1,3,7,21,197,591,1379,4137
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 465,4137 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 465,4137 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/118880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 465/160,4137/743 is 3/118880
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 160,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(160,743) = ( 160 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(160,743) = 118880 / 1
LCM(160,743) = 118880
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
