The factors of 361 are 1, 19, 361
The factors of 855 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 45, 57, 95, 171, 285, 855
The HCF of 361,855 is 19.
Lets's calculate GCF of 361,855
19 | 361, 855 |
19, 45 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Now, list down the factors of 361
:1,19,361
Now, list down the factors of 855
:1,3,5,9,15,19,45,57,95,171,285,855
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 361,855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 361,855 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10731
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/10731
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 361/73,855/147 is 19/10731
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 73,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,147) = ( 73 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(73,147) = 10731 / 1
LCM(73,147) = 10731
