The factors of 861 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
The HCF of 204,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 204,861
3 | 204, 861 |
68, 287 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 204
:1,2,3,4,6,12,17,34,51,68,102,204
Now, list down the factors of 861
:1,3,7,21,41,123,287,861
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 204,861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 204,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,402
2 | 20, 402 |
10, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 201 = 4020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/20,861/402 is 3/4020
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 20,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(20,402) = ( 20 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(20,402) = 8040 / 2
LCM(20,402) = 4020
