Now, list down the factors of 161
:1,7,23,161
Now, list down the factors of 578
:1,2,17,34,289,578
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 161,578 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 161,578 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,467
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 220424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/220424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/472,578/467 is 1/220424
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 472,467 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,467) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,467) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,467) = ( 472 × 467 ) / 1
LCM(472,467) = 220424 / 1
LCM(472,467) = 220424
