Lets's calculate GCF of 867,153
3 | 867, 153 |
17 | 289, 51 |
17, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 17 = 51
Now, list down the factors of 867
:1,3,17,51,289,867
Now, list down the factors of 153
:1,3,9,17,51,153
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 867,153 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 867,153 is 51.
Lets's calculate LCM of 483,978
3 | 483, 978 |
161, 326 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 161 x 326 = 157458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 51/157458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/483,153/978 is 51/157458
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 483,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(483,978) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(483,978) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(483,978) = ( 483 × 978 ) / 3
LCM(483,978) = 472374 / 3
LCM(483,978) = 157458
