Lets's calculate GCF of 681,159
3 | 681, 159 |
227, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 681
:1,3,227,681
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 681,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 681,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,3700
2 | 30, 3700 |
5 | 15, 1850 |
3, 370 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 3 x 370 = 11100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 681/30,159/3700 is 3/11100
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 30,3700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,3700) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,3700) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(30,3700) = ( 30 × 3700 ) / 10
LCM(30,3700) = 111000 / 10
LCM(30,3700) = 11100
