Lets's calculate GCF of 993,963
3 | 993, 963 |
331, 321 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 993
:1,3,331,993
Now, list down the factors of 963
:1,3,9,107,321,963
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 993,963 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 993,963 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 568,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 487912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/487912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/568,963/859 is 3/487912
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 568,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(568,859) = ( 568 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(568,859) = 487912 / 1
LCM(568,859) = 487912
