Now, list down the factors of 199
:1,199
Now, list down the factors of 962
:1,2,13,26,37,74,481,962
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 199,962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 199,962 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231883
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/231883
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 199/503,962/461 is 1/231883
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 503,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,461) = ( 503 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(503,461) = 231883 / 1
LCM(503,461) = 231883
