Lets's calculate GCF of 837,129
3 | 837, 129 |
279, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 837
:1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Now, list down the factors of 129
:1,3,43,129
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 837,129 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 837,129 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/91378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 837/214,129/427 is 3/91378
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 214,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,427) = ( 214 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(214,427) = 91378 / 1
LCM(214,427) = 91378
