Lets's calculate GCF of 742,901
53 | 742, 901 |
14, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 53 = 53
Now, list down the factors of 742
:1,2,7,14,53,106,371,742
Now, list down the factors of 901
:1,17,53,901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 742,901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 742,901 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 947,382
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/361754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 742/947,901/382 is 53/361754
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 947,382 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,382) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,382) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,382) = ( 947 × 382 ) / 1
LCM(947,382) = 361754 / 1
LCM(947,382) = 361754
