3 | 591, 531 |
197, 177 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 591
:1,3,197,591
Now, list down the factors of 531
:1,3,9,59,177,531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,531 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/26,531/643 is 3/16718
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 26,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,643) = ( 26 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(26,643) = 16718 / 1
LCM(26,643) = 16718
