Lets's calculate GCF of 324,700
2 | 324, 700 |
2 | 162, 350 |
81, 175 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 324
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,81,108,162,324
Now, list down the factors of 700
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,25,28,35,50,70,100,140,175,350,700
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 324,700 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 324,700 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 407253
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/407253
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/861,700/473 is 4/407253
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 861,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,473) = ( 861 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(861,473) = 407253 / 1
LCM(861,473) = 407253
