Lets's calculate GCF of 213,498
3 | 213, 498 |
71, 166 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 213
:1,3,71,213
Now, list down the factors of 498
:1,2,3,6,83,166,249,498
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 213,498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 213,498 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/36566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 213/47,498/778 is 3/36566
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 47,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,778) = ( 47 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(47,778) = 36566 / 1
LCM(47,778) = 36566
