Lets's calculate GCF of 627,138
3 | 627, 138 |
209, 46 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 627
:1,3,11,19,33,57,209,627
Now, list down the factors of 138
:1,2,3,6,23,46,69,138
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 627,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 627,138 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,1403
23 | 23, 1403 |
1, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 1 x 61 = 1403
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1403
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 627/23,138/1403 is 3/1403
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 23,1403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,1403) = 23
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,1403) x common factors =23 x 1 = 23
LCM(23,1403) = ( 23 × 1403 ) / 23
LCM(23,1403) = 32269 / 23
LCM(23,1403) = 1403
