Lets's calculate GCF of 533,949
13 | 533, 949 |
41, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 533
:1,13,41,533
Now, list down the factors of 949
:1,13,73,949
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 533,949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 533,949 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,7238
47 | 47, 7238 |
1, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 47 x 1 x 154 = 7238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/7238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 533/47,949/7238 is 13/7238
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 47,7238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,7238) = 47
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,7238) x common factors =47 x 1 = 47
LCM(47,7238) = ( 47 × 7238 ) / 47
LCM(47,7238) = 340186 / 47
LCM(47,7238) = 7238
