1,11,13,17,143,187,221,2431
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5744,2431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5744,2431 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 357,954
3 | 357, 954 |
119, 318 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 119 x 318 = 113526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5744/357,2431/954 is 1/113526
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 357,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,954) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,954) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(357,954) = ( 357 × 954 ) / 3
LCM(357,954) = 340578 / 3
LCM(357,954) = 113526
