Lets's calculate GCF of 858,132
2 | 858, 132 |
3 | 429, 66 |
11 | 143, 22 |
13, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 = 66
Now, list down the factors of 858
:1,2,3,6,11,13,22,26,33,39,66,78,143,286,429,858
Now, list down the factors of 132
:1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 858,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 858,132 is 66.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 66/17593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 858/73,132/241 is 66/17593
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 73,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,241) = ( 73 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(73,241) = 17593 / 1
LCM(73,241) = 17593
