Lets's calculate GCF of 651,942
3 | 651, 942 |
217, 314 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 651
:1,3,7,21,31,93,217,651
Now, list down the factors of 942
:1,2,3,6,157,314,471,942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 651,942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 651,942 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,768
2 | 52, 768 |
2 | 26, 384 |
13, 192 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 192 = 9984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 651/52,942/768 is 3/9984
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 52,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,768) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,768) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(52,768) = ( 52 × 768 ) / 4
LCM(52,768) = 39936 / 4
LCM(52,768) = 9984
