Lets's calculate GCF of 129,147
3 | 129, 147 |
43, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 129
:1,3,43,129
Now, list down the factors of 147
:1,3,7,21,49,147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 129,147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 129,147 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 741,962
13 | 741, 962 |
57, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 57 x 74 = 54834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/54834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 129/741,147/962 is 3/54834
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 741,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,962) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(741,962) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(741,962) = ( 741 × 962 ) / 13
LCM(741,962) = 712842 / 13
LCM(741,962) = 54834
