Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7221,9143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7221,9143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,315
3 | 162, 315 |
3 | 54, 105 |
18, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 18 x 35 = 5670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7221/162,9143/315 is 1/5670
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 162,315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,315) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,315) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(162,315) = ( 162 × 315 ) / 9
LCM(162,315) = 51030 / 9
LCM(162,315) = 5670
