Lets's calculate GCF of 381,426
3 | 381, 426 |
127, 142 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 381
:1,3,127,381
Now, list down the factors of 426
:1,2,3,6,71,142,213,426
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 381,426 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 381,426 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280489
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/280489
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 381/473,426/593 is 3/280489
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 473,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,593) = ( 473 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(473,593) = 280489 / 1
LCM(473,593) = 280489
