Lets's calculate GCF of 3131,7409
31 | 3131, 7409 |
101, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 3131
:1,31,101,3131
Now, list down the factors of 7409
:1,31,239,7409
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3131,7409 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3131,7409 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 763,422
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 321986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/321986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3131/763,7409/422 is 31/321986
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 763,422 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(763,422) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(763,422) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(763,422) = ( 763 × 422 ) / 1
LCM(763,422) = 321986 / 1
LCM(763,422) = 321986
