Lets's calculate GCF of 441,516
3 | 441, 516 |
147, 172 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 441
:1,3,7,9,21,49,63,147,441
Now, list down the factors of 516
:1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 441,516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 441,516 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,312
3 | 87, 312 |
29, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 104 = 9048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 441/87,516/312 is 3/9048
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 87,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,312) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,312) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,312) = ( 87 × 312 ) / 3
LCM(87,312) = 27144 / 3
LCM(87,312) = 9048
