To find the highest common factor of 747,201, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 747 are 1, 3, 9, 83, 249, 747
The factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201
The HCF of 747,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 747,201
3 | 747, 201 |
249, 67 |
∴ 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 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 747,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 747,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 762641
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/762641
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 747/979,201/779 is 3/762641
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 979,779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,779) = ( 979 × 779 ) / 1
LCM(979,779) = 762641 / 1
LCM(979,779) = 762641
