The factors of 141 are 1, 3, 47, 141
The HCF of 747,141 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 747,141
3 | 747, 141 |
249, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 747
:1,3,9,83,249,747
Now, list down the factors of 141
:1,3,47,141
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 747,141 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 747,141 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,295
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/143370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 747/486,141/295 is 3/143370
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 486,295 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,295) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,295) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(486,295) = ( 486 × 295 ) / 1
LCM(486,295) = 143370 / 1
LCM(486,295) = 143370
