Now, list down the factors of 779
:1,19,41,779
Now, list down the factors of 533
:1,13,41,533
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 779,533 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 779,533 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,387
3 | 12, 387 |
4, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 129 = 1548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/1548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 779/12,533/387 is 41/1548
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 12,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,387) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,387) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,387) = ( 12 × 387 ) / 3
LCM(12,387) = 4644 / 3
LCM(12,387) = 1548
