The factors of 387 are 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387
The HCF of 141,387 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 141,387
3 | 141, 387 |
47, 129 |
∴ 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 387
:1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,387 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,182
2 | 74, 182 |
37, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 91 = 6734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/74,387/182 is 3/6734
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 74,182 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,182) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,182) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,182) = ( 74 × 182 ) / 2
LCM(74,182) = 13468 / 2
LCM(74,182) = 6734
