Lets's calculate GCF of 31,1798
31 | 31, 1798 |
1, 58 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 31
:1,31
Now, list down the factors of 1798
:1,2,29,31,58,62,899,1798
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,1798 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,1798 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 383,9742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3731186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/3731186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/383,1798/9742 is 31/3731186
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 383,9742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,9742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,9742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,9742) = ( 383 × 9742 ) / 1
LCM(383,9742) = 3731186 / 1
LCM(383,9742) = 3731186
