Lets's calculate GCF of 1859,3601
13 | 1859, 3601 |
143, 277 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 1859
:1,11,13,143,169,1859
Now, list down the factors of 3601
:1,13,277,3601
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1859,3601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1859,3601 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 469,174
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/81606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1859/469,3601/174 is 13/81606
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 469,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,174) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,174) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,174) = ( 469 × 174 ) / 1
LCM(469,174) = 81606 / 1
LCM(469,174) = 81606
