Now, list down the factors of 1401
:1,3,467,1401
Now, list down the factors of 3043
:1,17,179,3043
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1401,3043 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1401,3043 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1401/163,3043/488 is 1/79544
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 163,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,488) = ( 163 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(163,488) = 79544 / 1
LCM(163,488) = 79544
