3 | 303, 657 |
101, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 303
:1,3,101,303
Now, list down the factors of 657
:1,3,9,73,219,657
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 303,657 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 303,657 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,192
2 | 32, 192 |
2 | 16, 96 |
2 | 8, 48 |
2 | 4, 24 |
2 | 2, 12 |
1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 6 = 192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 303/32,657/192 is 3/192
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 32,192 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,192) = 32
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,192) x common factors =32 x 1 = 32
LCM(32,192) = ( 32 × 192 ) / 32
LCM(32,192) = 6144 / 32
LCM(32,192) = 192
