3 | 261, 711 |
3 | 87, 237 |
29, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 261
:1,3,9,29,87,261
Now, list down the factors of 711
:1,3,9,79,237,711
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 261,711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 261,711 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,910
2 | 406, 910 |
7 | 203, 455 |
29, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 29 x 65 = 26390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/26390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 261/406,711/910 is 9/26390
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 406,910 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,910) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,910) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(406,910) = ( 406 × 910 ) / 14
LCM(406,910) = 369460 / 14
LCM(406,910) = 26390
