Lets's calculate GCF of 351,873
3 | 351, 873 |
3 | 117, 291 |
39, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 351
:1,3,9,13,27,39,117,351
Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 351,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 351,873 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/276996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 351/492,873/563 is 9/276996
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 492,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,563) = ( 492 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(492,563) = 276996 / 1
LCM(492,563) = 276996
