:1,409
Now, list down the factors of 987
:1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 409,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 409,987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,800
2 | 36, 800 |
2 | 18, 400 |
9, 200 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 9 x 200 = 7200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 409/36,987/800 is 1/7200
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 36,800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,800) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,800) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(36,800) = ( 36 × 800 ) / 4
LCM(36,800) = 28800 / 4
LCM(36,800) = 7200
