Lets's calculate GCF of 1421,7441
7 | 1421, 7441 |
203, 1063 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 1421
:1,7,29,49,203,1421
Now, list down the factors of 7441
:1,7,1063,7441
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1421,7441 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1421,7441 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,892
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 261356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/261356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1421/293,7441/892 is 7/261356
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 293,892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,892) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,892) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,892) = ( 293 × 892 ) / 1
LCM(293,892) = 261356 / 1
LCM(293,892) = 261356
