3 | 1002, 2847 |
334, 949 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 1002
:1,2,3,6,167,334,501,1002
Now, list down the factors of 2847
:1,3,13,39,73,219,949,2847
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1002,2847 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1002,2847 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,1407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 707721
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/707721
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1002/503,2847/1407 is 3/707721
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 503,1407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,1407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,1407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,1407) = ( 503 × 1407 ) / 1
LCM(503,1407) = 707721 / 1
LCM(503,1407) = 707721
