Lets's calculate GCF of 801,729
3 | 801, 729 |
3 | 267, 243 |
89, 81 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 801
:1,3,9,89,267,801
Now, list down the factors of 729
:1,3,9,27,81,243,729
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 801,729 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 801,729 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 471,291
3 | 471, 291 |
157, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 97 = 45687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/45687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 801/471,729/291 is 9/45687
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 471,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(471,291) = ( 471 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(471,291) = 137061 / 3
LCM(471,291) = 45687
