Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2795,8824 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2795,8824 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,285
3 | 231, 285 |
77, 95 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 77 x 95 = 21945
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21945
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2795/231,8824/285 is 1/21945
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 231,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,285) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,285) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(231,285) = ( 231 × 285 ) / 3
LCM(231,285) = 65835 / 3
LCM(231,285) = 21945
