Lets's calculate GCF of 427,903
7 | 427, 903 |
61, 129 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 427
:1,7,61,427
Now, list down the factors of 903
:1,3,7,21,43,129,301,903
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 427,903 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 427,903 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 152564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/152564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 427/172,903/887 is 7/152564
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 172,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,887) = ( 172 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(172,887) = 152564 / 1
LCM(172,887) = 152564
