Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 753,1731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 753,1731 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,162
3 | 285, 162 |
95, 54 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 95 x 54 = 15390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 753/285,1731/162 is 3/15390
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 285,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,162) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,162) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(285,162) = ( 285 × 162 ) / 3
LCM(285,162) = 46170 / 3
LCM(285,162) = 15390
