Lets's calculate GCF of 270,900
2 | 270, 900 |
3 | 135, 450 |
3 | 45, 150 |
5 | 15, 50 |
3, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 90
Now, list down the factors of 270
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,27,30,45,54,90,135,270
Now, list down the factors of 900
:1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,25,30,36,45,50,60,75,90,100,150,180,225,300,450,900
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 270,900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 270,900 is 90.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,357
3 | 39, 357 |
13, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 119 = 4641
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 90/4641
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/39,900/357 is 90/4641
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 39,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,357) = ( 39 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(39,357) = 13923 / 3
LCM(39,357) = 4641
