Lets's calculate GCF of 852,303
3 | 852, 303 |
284, 101 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 852
:1,2,3,4,6,12,71,142,213,284,426,852
Now, list down the factors of 303
:1,3,101,303
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 852,303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 852,303 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,933
3 | 15, 933 |
5, 311 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 311 = 4665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 852/15,303/933 is 3/4665
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 15,933 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,933) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,933) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,933) = ( 15 × 933 ) / 3
LCM(15,933) = 13995 / 3
LCM(15,933) = 4665
