The factors of 973 are 1, 7, 139, 973
The factors of 301 are 1, 7, 43, 301
The HCF of 973,301 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 973,301
7 | 973, 301 |
139, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 973
:1,7,139,973
Now, list down the factors of 301
:1,7,43,301
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 973,301 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 973,301 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/20909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 973/29,301/721 is 7/20909
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 29,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,721) = ( 29 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(29,721) = 20909 / 1
LCM(29,721) = 20909
