1,3,617,1851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2429,1851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2429,1851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,333
3 | 978, 333 |
326, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 326 x 111 = 108558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/108558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2429/978,1851/333 is 1/108558
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 978,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,333) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,333) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(978,333) = ( 978 × 333 ) / 3
LCM(978,333) = 325674 / 3
LCM(978,333) = 108558
