Lets's calculate GCF of 63,49
7 | 63, 49 |
9, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 63
:1,3,7,9,21,63
Now, list down the factors of 49
:1,7,49
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 63,49 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 63,49 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,1757
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1127994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1127994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 63/642,49/1757 is 7/1127994
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 642,1757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,1757) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,1757) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(642,1757) = ( 642 × 1757 ) / 1
LCM(642,1757) = 1127994 / 1
LCM(642,1757) = 1127994
