3 | 321, 936 |
107, 312 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 321
:1,3,107,321
Now, list down the factors of 936
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,18,24,26,36,39,52,72,78,104,117,156,234,312,468,936
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 321,936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 321,936 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,688
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 346064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/346064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 321/503,936/688 is 3/346064
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 503,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,688) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,688) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,688) = ( 503 × 688 ) / 1
LCM(503,688) = 346064 / 1
LCM(503,688) = 346064
