Lets's calculate GCF of 881,189
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 881
:1,881
Now, list down the factors of 189
:1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 881,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 881,189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,840
2 | 40, 840 |
2 | 20, 420 |
2 | 10, 210 |
5 | 5, 105 |
1, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 21 = 840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 881/40,189/840 is 1/840
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 40,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,840) = 40
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,840) x common factors =40 x 1 = 40
LCM(40,840) = ( 40 × 840 ) / 40
LCM(40,840) = 33600 / 40
LCM(40,840) = 840
