:1,23,61,1403
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1208,1403 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1208,1403 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,1759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 494279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/494279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1208/281,1403/1759 is 1/494279
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 281,1759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,1759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,1759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,1759) = ( 281 × 1759 ) / 1
LCM(281,1759) = 494279 / 1
LCM(281,1759) = 494279
