Lets's calculate GCF of 183,521
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 183
:1,3,61,183
Now, list down the factors of 521
:1,521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/48,521/487 is 1/23376
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 48,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,487) = ( 48 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(48,487) = 23376 / 1
LCM(48,487) = 23376
