Lets's calculate GCF of 81,36
3 | 81, 36 |
3 | 27, 12 |
9, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 81
:1,3,9,27,81
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,36 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 518,3293
37 | 518, 3293 |
14, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 37 x 14 x 89 = 46102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/46102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/518,36/3293 is 9/46102
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 518,3293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(518,3293) = 37
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(518,3293) x common factors =37 x 1 = 37
LCM(518,3293) = ( 518 × 3293 ) / 37
LCM(518,3293) = 1705774 / 37
LCM(518,3293) = 46102
