Lets's calculate GCF of 543,747
3 | 543, 747 |
181, 249 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 543
:1,3,181,543
Now, list down the factors of 747
:1,3,9,83,249,747
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 543,747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 543,747 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,939
3 | 474, 939 |
158, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 158 x 313 = 148362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/148362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 543/474,747/939 is 3/148362
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 474,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,939) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,939) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(474,939) = ( 474 × 939 ) / 3
LCM(474,939) = 445086 / 3
LCM(474,939) = 148362
