Lets's calculate GCF of 711,837
3 | 711, 837 |
3 | 237, 279 |
79, 93 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 711
:1,3,9,79,237,711
Now, list down the factors of 837
:1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 711,837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 711,837 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 678,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 448158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/448158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 711/678,837/661 is 9/448158
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 678,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(678,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(678,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(678,661) = ( 678 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(678,661) = 448158 / 1
LCM(678,661) = 448158
