Lets's calculate GCF of 819,231
3 | 819, 231 |
7 | 273, 77 |
39, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 7 = 21
Now, list down the factors of 819
:1,3,7,9,13,21,39,63,91,117,273,819
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 819,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 819,231 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,799
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/33558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 819/42,231/799 is 21/33558
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 42,799 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,799) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,799) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,799) = ( 42 × 799 ) / 1
LCM(42,799) = 33558 / 1
LCM(42,799) = 33558
