Lets's calculate GCF of 301,777
7 | 301, 777 |
43, 111 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 301
:1,7,43,301
Now, list down the factors of 777
:1,3,7,21,37,111,259,777
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 301,777 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 301,777 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 477,387
3 | 477, 387 |
3 | 159, 129 |
53, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 53 x 43 = 20511
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/20511
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 301/477,777/387 is 7/20511
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 477,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,387) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,387) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(477,387) = ( 477 × 387 ) / 9
LCM(477,387) = 184599 / 9
LCM(477,387) = 20511
