The factors of 873 are 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873
The HCF of 21,27,873 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,27,873
3 | 21, 27, 873 |
7, 9, 291 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 21
:1,3,7,21
Now, list down the factors of 27
:1,3,9,27
Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,27,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,27,873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,81,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 989658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/989658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/82,27/81,873/149 is 3/989658
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 82,81,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,81,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,81,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,81,149) = ( 82 × 81 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(82,81,149) = 989658 / 1
LCM(82,81,149) = 989658
