Lets's calculate GCF of 45,36
3 | 45, 36 |
3 | 15, 12 |
5, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 45
:1,3,5,9,15,45
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,36 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 736,9263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6817568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/6817568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/736,36/9263 is 9/6817568
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 736,9263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,9263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,9263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(736,9263) = ( 736 × 9263 ) / 1
LCM(736,9263) = 6817568 / 1
LCM(736,9263) = 6817568
