Lets's calculate GCF of 882,294
2 | 882, 294 |
3 | 441, 147 |
7 | 49, 147 |
7 | 7, 21 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 294
Now, list down the factors of 882
:1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,49,63,98,126,147,294,441,882
Now, list down the factors of 294
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,294 is 294.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 294/18045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/45,294/401 is 294/18045
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 45,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,401) = ( 45 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(45,401) = 18045 / 1
LCM(45,401) = 18045
