| 3 | 7404, 3003 |
| 2468, 1001 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 7404
:1,2,3,4,6,12,617,1234,1851,2468,3702,7404
Now, list down the factors of 3003
:1,3,7,11,13,21,33,39,77,91,143,231,273,429,1001,3003
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7404,3003 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7404,3003 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/40279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7404/47,3003/857 is 3/40279
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 47,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,857) = ( 47 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(47,857) = 40279 / 1
LCM(47,857) = 40279
