The factors of 321 are 1, 3, 107, 321
The HCF of 141,321 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 141,321
3 | 141, 321 |
47, 107 |
∴ 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 321
:1,3,107,321
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,321 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,348
2 | 48, 348 |
2 | 24, 174 |
3 | 12, 87 |
4, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 29 = 1392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/48,321/348 is 3/1392
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 48,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,348) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,348) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(48,348) = ( 48 × 348 ) / 12
LCM(48,348) = 16704 / 12
LCM(48,348) = 1392
