Lets's calculate GCF of 249,273
3 | 249, 273 |
83, 91 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 249
:1,3,83,249
Now, list down the factors of 273
:1,3,7,13,21,39,91,273
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 249,273 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 249,273 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 853,214
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 182542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/182542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 249/853,273/214 is 3/182542
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 853,214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,214) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,214) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,214) = ( 853 × 214 ) / 1
LCM(853,214) = 182542 / 1
LCM(853,214) = 182542
