The factors of 387 are 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387
The factors of 111 are 1, 3, 37, 111
The HCF of 387,111 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 387,111
3 | 387, 111 |
129, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 387
:1,3,9,43,129,387
Now, list down the factors of 111
:1,3,37,111
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,111 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,111 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,252
2 | 94, 252 |
47, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 47 x 126 = 11844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/94,111/252 is 3/11844
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 94,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(94,252) = ( 94 × 252 ) / 2
LCM(94,252) = 23688 / 2
LCM(94,252) = 11844
