Lets's calculate LCM of 159,6471
3 | 159, 6471 |
53, 2157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 2157 = 342963
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/342963
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 848/159,5142/6471 is 2/342963
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 159,6471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,6471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,6471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,6471) = ( 159 × 6471 ) / 3
LCM(159,6471) = 1028889 / 3
LCM(159,6471) = 342963
