Lets's calculate GCF of 444,555
3 | 444, 555 |
37 | 148, 185 |
4, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 37 = 111
Now, list down the factors of 444
:1,2,3,4,6,12,37,74,111,148,222,444
Now, list down the factors of 555
:1,3,5,15,37,111,185,555
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 444,555 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 444,555 is 111.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,198
2 | 12, 198 |
3 | 6, 99 |
2, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 2 x 33 = 396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 111/396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/12,555/198 is 111/396
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 12,198 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,198) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,198) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(12,198) = ( 12 × 198 ) / 6
LCM(12,198) = 2376 / 6
LCM(12,198) = 396
