Lets's calculate GCF of 962,999
37 | 962, 999 |
26, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Now, list down the factors of 962
:1,2,13,26,37,74,481,962
Now, list down the factors of 999
:1,3,9,27,37,111,333,999
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 962,999 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 962,999 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,123
3 | 15, 123 |
5, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 41 = 615
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/615
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/15,999/123 is 37/615
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 15,123 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,123) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,123) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,123) = ( 15 × 123 ) / 3
LCM(15,123) = 1845 / 3
LCM(15,123) = 615
