:1,11,151,1661
Now, list down the factors of 1493
:1,1493
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1661,1493 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1661,1493 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,1780
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 521540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/521540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1661/293,1493/1780 is 1/521540
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 293,1780 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,1780) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,1780) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,1780) = ( 293 × 1780 ) / 1
LCM(293,1780) = 521540 / 1
LCM(293,1780) = 521540
