3 | 1251, 9213 |
417, 3071 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 1251
:1,3,9,139,417,1251
Now, list down the factors of 9213
:1,3,37,83,111,249,3071,9213
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1251,9213 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1251,9213 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/78760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1251/440,9213/179 is 3/78760
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 440,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,179) = ( 440 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(440,179) = 78760 / 1
LCM(440,179) = 78760
