Now, list down the factors of 1500
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,25,30,50,60,75,100,125,150,250,300,375,500,750,1500
Now, list down the factors of 1401
:1,3,467,1401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1500,1401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1500,1401 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 994,3781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3758314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3758314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1500/994,1401/3781 is 3/3758314
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 994,3781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,3781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,3781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(994,3781) = ( 994 × 3781 ) / 1
LCM(994,3781) = 3758314 / 1
LCM(994,3781) = 3758314
