Lets's calculate GCF of 819,679
7 | 819, 679 |
117, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
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 679
:1,7,97,679
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 819,679 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 819,679 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,973
7 | 42, 973 |
6, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 6 x 139 = 5838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/5838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 819/42,679/973 is 7/5838
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 42,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,973) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,973) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(42,973) = ( 42 × 973 ) / 7
LCM(42,973) = 40866 / 7
LCM(42,973) = 5838
