The factors of 879 are 1, 3, 293, 879
The HCF of 375,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 375,879
3 | 375, 879 |
125, 293 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 375
:1,3,5,15,25,75,125,375
Now, list down the factors of 879
:1,3,293,879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/41406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/402,879/103 is 3/41406
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 402,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(402,103) = ( 402 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(402,103) = 41406 / 1
LCM(402,103) = 41406
