3 | 939, 261 |
313, 87 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 939
:1,3,313,939
Now, list down the factors of 261
:1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 939,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 939,261 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 944,515
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 486160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/486160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 939/944,261/515 is 3/486160
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 944,515 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,515) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,515) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(944,515) = ( 944 × 515 ) / 1
LCM(944,515) = 486160 / 1
LCM(944,515) = 486160
