:1,3,1319,3957
Now, list down the factors of 9630
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45,90,107,214,321,535,642,963,1070,1605,1926,3210,4815,9630
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3957,9630 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3957,9630 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 375,387
3 | 375, 387 |
125, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 125 x 129 = 48375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/48375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3957/375,9630/387 is 3/48375
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 375,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(375,387) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(375,387) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(375,387) = ( 375 × 387 ) / 3
LCM(375,387) = 145125 / 3
LCM(375,387) = 48375
