The factors of 141 are 1, 3, 47, 141
The factors of 855 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855
The HCF of 141,855 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 141,855
3 | 141, 855 |
47, 285 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 141
:1,3,47,141
Now, list down the factors of 855
:1,3,5,9,15,19,45,57,95,171,285,855
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,855 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,713
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/42,855/713 is 3/29946
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 42,713 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,713) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,713) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,713) = ( 42 × 713 ) / 1
LCM(42,713) = 29946 / 1
LCM(42,713) = 29946
