:1,3,1259,3777
Now, list down the factors of 9040
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80,113,226,452,565,904,1130,1808,2260,4520,9040
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3777,9040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3777,9040 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 216,501
3 | 216, 501 |
72, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 72 x 167 = 36072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3777/216,9040/501 is 1/36072
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 216,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,501) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,501) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(216,501) = ( 216 × 501 ) / 3
LCM(216,501) = 108216 / 3
LCM(216,501) = 36072
