The factors of 363 are 1, 3, 11, 33, 121, 363
The factors of 957 are 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
The HCF of 363,957 is 33.
Lets's calculate GCF of 363,957
3 | 363, 957 |
11 | 121, 319 |
11, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 11 = 33
Now, list down the factors of 363
:1,3,11,33,121,363
Now, list down the factors of 957
:1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 363,957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 363,957 is 33.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,852
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 33/45156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 363/53,957/852 is 33/45156
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 53,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,852) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,852) = ( 53 × 852 ) / 1
LCM(53,852) = 45156 / 1
LCM(53,852) = 45156
