Lets's calculate GCF of 963,258
3 | 963, 258 |
321, 86 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 963
:1,3,9,107,321,963
Now, list down the factors of 258
:1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 963,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 963,258 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 458682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/458682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 963/938,258/489 is 3/458682
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 938,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,489) = ( 938 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(938,489) = 458682 / 1
LCM(938,489) = 458682
