The factors of 273 are 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 39, 91, 273
The HCF of 951,273 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 951,273
3 | 951, 273 |
317, 91 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 951
:1,3,317,951
Now, list down the factors of 273
:1,3,7,13,21,39,91,273
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 951,273 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 951,273 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/48265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 951/49,273/985 is 3/48265
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 49,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,985) = ( 49 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(49,985) = 48265 / 1
LCM(49,985) = 48265
