3 | 7842, 4005 |
2614, 1335 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 7842
:1,2,3,6,1307,2614,3921,7842
Now, list down the factors of 4005
:1,3,5,9,15,45,89,267,445,801,1335,4005
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7842,4005 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7842,4005 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,544
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/240992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7842/443,4005/544 is 3/240992
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 443,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,544) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,544) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,544) = ( 443 × 544 ) / 1
LCM(443,544) = 240992 / 1
LCM(443,544) = 240992
