Now, list down the factors of 901
:1,17,53,901
Now, list down the factors of 972
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,81,108,162,243,324,486,972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 901,972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 901,972 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,880
2 | 996, 880 |
2 | 498, 440 |
249, 220 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 249 x 220 = 219120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/219120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/996,972/880 is 1/219120
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 996,880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,880) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,880) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(996,880) = ( 996 × 880 ) / 4
LCM(996,880) = 876480 / 4
LCM(996,880) = 219120
