Lets's calculate GCF of 831,8574
3 | 831, 8574 |
277, 2858 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 831
:1,3,277,831
Now, list down the factors of 8574
:1,2,3,6,1429,2858,4287,8574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 831,8574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 831,8574 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,234
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/115362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/493,8574/234 is 3/115362
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 493,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,234) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,234) = ( 493 × 234 ) / 1
LCM(493,234) = 115362 / 1
LCM(493,234) = 115362
