Lets's calculate GCF of 105,915
3 | 105, 915 |
5 | 35, 305 |
7, 61 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15
Now, list down the factors of 105
:1,3,5,7,15,21,35,105
Now, list down the factors of 915
:1,3,5,15,61,183,305,915
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 105,915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 105,915 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/17094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 105/42,915/407 is 15/17094
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 42,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,407) = ( 42 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(42,407) = 17094 / 1
LCM(42,407) = 17094
