7 | 749, 7518 |
107, 1074 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 749
:1,7,107,749
Now, list down the factors of 7518
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,179,358,537,1074,1253,2506,3759,7518
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 749,7518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 749,7518 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 303,512
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/155136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/303,7518/512 is 7/155136
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 303,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,512) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,512) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(303,512) = ( 303 × 512 ) / 1
LCM(303,512) = 155136 / 1
LCM(303,512) = 155136
