3 | 36, 279 |
3 | 12, 93 |
4, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
Now, list down the factors of 108
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,108
Now, list down the factors of 837
:1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 108,837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 108,837 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,825
3 | 15, 825 |
5 | 5, 275 |
1, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 1 x 55 = 825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/15,837/825 is 27/825
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 15,825 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,825) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,825) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(15,825) = ( 15 × 825 ) / 15
LCM(15,825) = 12375 / 15
LCM(15,825) = 825
