Lets's calculate GCF of 231,951
3 | 231, 951 |
77, 317 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Now, list down the factors of 951
:1,3,317,951
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,951 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,951 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,510
2 | 178, 510 |
89, 255 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 255 = 45390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/178,951/510 is 3/45390
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 178,510 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,510) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,510) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(178,510) = ( 178 × 510 ) / 2
LCM(178,510) = 90780 / 2
LCM(178,510) = 45390
