Lets's calculate GCF of 729,243
3 | 729, 243 |
3 | 243, 81 |
3 | 27, 81 |
3 | 9, 27 |
3 | 3, 9 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243
Now, list down the factors of 729
:1,3,9,27,81,243,729
Now, list down the factors of 243
:1,3,9,27,81,243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 729,243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 729,243 is 243.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,474
2 | 338, 474 |
169, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 169 x 237 = 80106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 243/80106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 729/338,243/474 is 243/80106
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 338,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(338,474) = ( 338 × 474 ) / 2
LCM(338,474) = 160212 / 2
LCM(338,474) = 80106
