Lets's calculate GCF of 957,231
3 | 957, 231 |
11 | 319, 77 |
29, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 11 = 33
Now, list down the factors of 957
:1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 957,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,231 is 33.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,559
13 | 78, 559 |
6, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 6 x 43 = 3354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 33/3354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/78,231/559 is 33/3354
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 78,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,559) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,559) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(78,559) = ( 78 × 559 ) / 13
LCM(78,559) = 43602 / 13
LCM(78,559) = 3354
