Lets's calculate GCF of 285,261
3 | 285, 261 |
95, 87 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 285
:1,3,5,15,19,57,95,285
Now, list down the factors of 261
:1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 285,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 285,261 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 925,706
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 653050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/653050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/925,261/706 is 3/653050
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 925,706 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(925,706) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(925,706) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(925,706) = ( 925 × 706 ) / 1
LCM(925,706) = 653050 / 1
LCM(925,706) = 653050
