3 | 7233, 2691 |
2411, 897 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 7233
:1,3,2411,7233
Now, list down the factors of 2691
:1,3,9,13,23,39,69,117,207,299,897,2691
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7233,2691 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7233,2691 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/171628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7233/428,2691/401 is 3/171628
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 428,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(428,401) = ( 428 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(428,401) = 171628 / 1
LCM(428,401) = 171628
