Lets's calculate GCF of 793,442
13 | 793, 442 |
61, 34 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 793
:1,13,61,793
Now, list down the factors of 442
:1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 793,442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 793,442 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,174
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/17574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 793/101,442/174 is 13/17574
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 101,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,174) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,174) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,174) = ( 101 × 174 ) / 1
LCM(101,174) = 17574 / 1
LCM(101,174) = 17574
