3 | 129, 234 |
43, 78 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 387
:1,3,9,43,129,387
Now, list down the factors of 702
:1,2,3,6,9,13,18,26,27,39,54,78,117,234,351,702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,702 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,120
2 | 354, 120 |
3 | 177, 60 |
59, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 59 x 20 = 7080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/7080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/354,702/120 is 9/7080
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 354,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,120) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,120) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(354,120) = ( 354 × 120 ) / 6
LCM(354,120) = 42480 / 6
LCM(354,120) = 7080
