Now, list down the factors of 1251
:1,3,9,139,417,1251
Now, list down the factors of 5839
:1,5839
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1251,5839 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1251,5839 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,424
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/371848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1251/877,5839/424 is 1/371848
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 877,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,424) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,424) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,424) = ( 877 × 424 ) / 1
LCM(877,424) = 371848 / 1
LCM(877,424) = 371848
