Now, list down the factors of 3018
:1,2,3,6,503,1006,1509,3018
Now, list down the factors of 2976
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,31,32,48,62,93,96,124,186,248,372,496,744,992,1488,2976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3018,2976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3018,2976 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 801,415
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 332415
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/332415
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3018/801,2976/415 is 6/332415
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 801,415 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(801,415) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(801,415) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(801,415) = ( 801 × 415 ) / 1
LCM(801,415) = 332415 / 1
LCM(801,415) = 332415
