The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
The HCF of 81,20 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 81,20
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 81
:1,3,9,27,81
Now, list down the factors of 20
:1,2,4,5,10,20
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,20 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,20 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 261,7621
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1989081
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1989081
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/261,20/7621 is 1/1989081
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 261,7621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,7621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,7621) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(261,7621) = ( 261 × 7621 ) / 1
LCM(261,7621) = 1989081 / 1
LCM(261,7621) = 1989081
