Lets's calculate GCF of 423,940
47 | 423, 940 |
9, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 47 = 47
Now, list down the factors of 423
:1,3,9,47,141,423
Now, list down the factors of 940
:1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 423,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 423,940 is 47.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,1907
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 47/144932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 423/76,940/1907 is 47/144932
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 76,1907 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,1907) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,1907) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(76,1907) = ( 76 × 1907 ) / 1
LCM(76,1907) = 144932 / 1
LCM(76,1907) = 144932
