Now, list down the factors of 356
:1,2,4,89,178,356
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 157,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 157,356 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 943,763
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 719509
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/719509
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 157/943,356/763 is 1/719509
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 943,763 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(943,763) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(943,763) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(943,763) = ( 943 × 763 ) / 1
LCM(943,763) = 719509 / 1
LCM(943,763) = 719509
