Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 756,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 756,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,746
2 | 24, 746 |
12, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 12 x 373 = 8952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 756/24,159/746 is 3/8952
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 24,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,746) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,746) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(24,746) = ( 24 × 746 ) / 2
LCM(24,746) = 17904 / 2
LCM(24,746) = 8952
