To find the highest common factor of 981,165, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 981 are 1, 3, 9, 109, 327, 981
The factors of 165 are 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 33, 55, 165
The HCF of 981,165 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 981,165
3 | 981, 165 |
327, 55 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 981
:1,3,9,109,327,981
Now, list down the factors of 165
:1,3,5,11,15,33,55,165
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 981,165 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 981,165 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35697
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/35697
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 981/73,165/489 is 3/35697
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 73,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,489) = ( 73 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(73,489) = 35697 / 1
LCM(73,489) = 35697
