Lets's calculate GCF of 1461,1207
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 1461
:1,3,487,1461
Now, list down the factors of 1207
:1,17,71,1207
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1461,1207 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1461,1207 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,952
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 396984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/396984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1461/417,1207/952 is 1/396984
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 417,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,952) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,952) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,952) = ( 417 × 952 ) / 1
LCM(417,952) = 396984 / 1
LCM(417,952) = 396984
