Lets's calculate GCF of 657,219
3 | 657, 219 |
73 | 219, 73 |
3, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 73 = 219
Now, list down the factors of 657
:1,3,9,73,219,657
Now, list down the factors of 219
:1,3,73,219
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 657,219 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 657,219 is 219.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 157170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 219/157170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 657/186,219/845 is 219/157170
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 186,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(186,845) = ( 186 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(186,845) = 157170 / 1
LCM(186,845) = 157170
