Lets's calculate GCF of 357,119
7 | 357, 119 |
17 | 51, 17 |
3, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 17 = 119
Now, list down the factors of 357
:1,3,7,17,21,51,119,357
Now, list down the factors of 119
:1,7,17,119
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,119 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,119 is 119.
Lets's calculate LCM of 460,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 449420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 119/449420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/460,119/977 is 119/449420
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 460,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(460,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(460,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(460,977) = ( 460 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(460,977) = 449420 / 1
LCM(460,977) = 449420
