Lets's calculate GCF of 348,387
3 | 348, 387 |
116, 129 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 348
:1,2,3,4,6,12,29,58,87,116,174,348
Now, list down the factors of 387
:1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 348,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 348,387 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,939
3 | 21, 939 |
7, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 313 = 6573
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6573
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/21,387/939 is 3/6573
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 21,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,939) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,939) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,939) = ( 21 × 939 ) / 3
LCM(21,939) = 19719 / 3
LCM(21,939) = 6573
