Lets's calculate GCF of 968,605
11 | 968, 605 |
11 | 88, 55 |
8, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 x 11 = 121
Now, list down the factors of 968
:1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,121,242,484,968
Now, list down the factors of 605
:1,5,11,55,121,605
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,605 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,605 is 121.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 121/5698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/14,605/407 is 121/5698
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 14,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,407) = ( 14 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(14,407) = 5698 / 1
LCM(14,407) = 5698
