Now, list down the factors of 1597
:1,1597
Now, list down the factors of 5201
:1,7,743,5201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1597,5201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1597,5201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,745
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 385165
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/385165
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1597/517,5201/745 is 1/385165
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 517,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,745) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,745) = ( 517 × 745 ) / 1
LCM(517,745) = 385165 / 1
LCM(517,745) = 385165
