Lets's calculate GCF of 301,5243
7 | 301, 5243 |
43, 749 |
∴ 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 5243
:1,7,49,107,749,5243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 301,5243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 301,5243 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 751,782
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 587282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/587282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 301/751,5243/782 is 7/587282
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 751,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(751,782) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(751,782) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(751,782) = ( 751 × 782 ) / 1
LCM(751,782) = 587282 / 1
LCM(751,782) = 587282
