∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 79 = 79
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Now, list down the factors of 711
:1,3,9,79,237,711
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,711 is 79.
Lets's calculate LCM of 796,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 79/401980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/796,711/505 is 79/401980
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 796,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(796,505) = ( 796 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(796,505) = 401980 / 1
LCM(796,505) = 401980
