Lets's calculate GCF of 489,366
3 | 489, 366 |
163, 122 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 489
:1,3,163,489
Now, list down the factors of 366
:1,2,3,6,61,122,183,366
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 489,366 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 489,366 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,950
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 407550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/407550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 489/429,366/950 is 3/407550
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 429,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,950) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,950) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,950) = ( 429 × 950 ) / 1
LCM(429,950) = 407550 / 1
LCM(429,950) = 407550
