The factors of 84 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
The factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21
The HCF of 84,21 is 21.
Lets's calculate GCF of 84,21
3 | 84, 21 |
7 | 28, 7 |
4, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 7 = 21
Now, list down the factors of 84
:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Now, list down the factors of 21
:1,3,7,21
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,21 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,21 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 533,7058
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3761914
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/3761914
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/533,21/7058 is 21/3761914
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 533,7058 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,7058) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,7058) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(533,7058) = ( 533 × 7058 ) / 1
LCM(533,7058) = 3761914 / 1
LCM(533,7058) = 3761914
