Lets's calculate GCF of 405,477
3 | 405, 477 |
3 | 135, 159 |
45, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 405
:1,3,5,9,15,27,45,81,135,405
Now, list down the factors of 477
:1,3,9,53,159,477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 405,477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 405,477 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,726
3 | 39, 726 |
13, 242 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 242 = 9438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/9438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 405/39,477/726 is 9/9438
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 39,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,726) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,726) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,726) = ( 39 × 726 ) / 3
LCM(39,726) = 28314 / 3
LCM(39,726) = 9438
