In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 21,8131
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,8131 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 396,3492 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 396,3492 is 38412 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,8131
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Factors of 8131
List of positive integer factors of 8131 that divides 8131 without a remainder.
1,47,173,8131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,8131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,8131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,3492
2 | 396, 3492 |
2 | 198, 1746 |
3 | 99, 873 |
3 | 33, 291 |
11, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 97 = 38412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/396,8131/3492 is 1/38412
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 396,3492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,3492) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,3492) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(396,3492) = ( 396 × 3492 ) / 36
LCM(396,3492) = 1382832 / 36
LCM(396,3492) = 38412
