Lets's calculate GCF of 246,171
3 | 246, 171 |
82, 57 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 246
:1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Now, list down the factors of 171
:1,3,9,19,57,171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,171 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 684834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/684834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/727,171/942 is 3/684834
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 727,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,942) = ( 727 × 942 ) / 1
LCM(727,942) = 684834 / 1
LCM(727,942) = 684834
