Lets's calculate GCF of 459,201
3 | 459, 201 |
153, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 459
:1,3,9,17,27,51,153,459
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 459,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 459,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,942
2 | 208, 942 |
104, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 104 x 471 = 97968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/97968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 459/208,201/942 is 3/97968
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 208,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(208,942) = ( 208 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(208,942) = 195936 / 2
LCM(208,942) = 97968
