Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8009,3172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8009,3172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 855,243
3 | 855, 243 |
3 | 285, 81 |
95, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 95 x 27 = 23085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8009/855,3172/243 is 1/23085
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 855,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(855,243) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(855,243) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(855,243) = ( 855 × 243 ) / 9
LCM(855,243) = 207765 / 9
LCM(855,243) = 23085
