3 | 189, 168 |
7 | 63, 56 |
9, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 7 = 21
Now, list down the factors of 189
:1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Now, list down the factors of 168
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 189,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 189,168 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 304020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/304020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/540,168/563 is 21/304020
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 540,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(540,563) = ( 540 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(540,563) = 304020 / 1
LCM(540,563) = 304020
