2 | 474, 462 |
3 | 237, 231 |
79, 77 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Now, list down the factors of 474
:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Now, list down the factors of 462
:1,2,3,6,7,11,14,21,22,33,42,66,77,154,231,462
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 474,462 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 474,462 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,6001
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 378063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/378063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/63,462/6001 is 6/378063
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 63,6001 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,6001) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,6001) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,6001) = ( 63 × 6001 ) / 1
LCM(63,6001) = 378063 / 1
LCM(63,6001) = 378063
