Therefore, the GCF of 933/42,303/221 is 3/9282.
To find the highest common factor of 933,303, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 933 are 1, 3, 311, 933
The factors of 303 are 1, 3, 101, 303
The HCF of 933,303 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 933,303
3 | 933, 303 |
311, 101 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 933
:1,3,311,933
Now, list down the factors of 303
:1,3,101,303
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 933,303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 933,303 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 933/42,303/221 is 3/9282
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 42,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,221) = ( 42 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(42,221) = 9282 / 1
LCM(42,221) = 9282
