Lets's calculate GCF of 207,405
3 | 207, 405 |
3 | 69, 135 |
23, 45 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 207
:1,3,9,23,69,207
Now, list down the factors of 405
:1,3,5,9,15,27,45,81,135,405
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 207,405 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 207,405 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,679
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/290612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/428,405/679 is 9/290612
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 428,679 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,679) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,679) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(428,679) = ( 428 × 679 ) / 1
LCM(428,679) = 290612 / 1
LCM(428,679) = 290612
