11 | 957, 638 |
29 | 87, 58 |
3, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 x 29 = 319
Now, list down the factors of 957
:1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Now, list down the factors of 638
:1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 957,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,638 is 319.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,5783
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 294933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 319/294933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/51,638/5783 is 319/294933
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 51,5783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,5783) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,5783) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,5783) = ( 51 × 5783 ) / 1
LCM(51,5783) = 294933 / 1
LCM(51,5783) = 294933
