1,3,11,33,71,213,781,2343
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1861,2343 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1861,2343 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,486
2 | 396, 486 |
3 | 198, 243 |
3 | 66, 81 |
22, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 22 x 27 = 10692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1861/396,2343/486 is 1/10692
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 396,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,486) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,486) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(396,486) = ( 396 × 486 ) / 18
LCM(396,486) = 192456 / 18
LCM(396,486) = 10692
