Now, list down the factors of 363
:1,3,11,33,121,363
Now, list down the factors of 3543
:1,3,1181,3543
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 363,3543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 363,3543 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 791,862
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 681842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/681842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 363/791,3543/862 is 3/681842
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 791,862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(791,862) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(791,862) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(791,862) = ( 791 × 862 ) / 1
LCM(791,862) = 681842 / 1
LCM(791,862) = 681842
