:1,7,17,119
Now, list down the factors of 257
:1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 119,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 119,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,117
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 119/254,257/117 is 1/29718
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 254,117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,117) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,117) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,117) = ( 254 × 117 ) / 1
LCM(254,117) = 29718 / 1
LCM(254,117) = 29718
