Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Now, list down the factors of 957
:1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 873,957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 873,957 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/22018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/101,957/218 is 3/22018
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 101,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,218) = ( 101 × 218 ) / 1
LCM(101,218) = 22018 / 1
LCM(101,218) = 22018
