Lets's calculate GCF of 153,708
3 | 153, 708 |
51, 236 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 153
:1,3,9,17,51,153
Now, list down the factors of 708
:1,2,3,4,6,12,59,118,177,236,354,708
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 153,708 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 153,708 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,462
2 | 48, 462 |
3 | 24, 231 |
8, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 77 = 3696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 153/48,708/462 is 3/3696
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 48,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,462) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,462) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(48,462) = ( 48 × 462 ) / 6
LCM(48,462) = 22176 / 6
LCM(48,462) = 3696
