1,5,503,2515
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5881,2515 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5881,2515 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,7359
3 | 159, 7359 |
53, 2453 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 2453 = 390027
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390027
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5881/159,2515/7359 is 1/390027
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 159,7359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,7359) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,7359) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,7359) = ( 159 × 7359 ) / 3
LCM(159,7359) = 1170081 / 3
LCM(159,7359) = 390027
