Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Now, list down the factors of 917
:1,7,131,917
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 447,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 220371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/220371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/447,917/493 is 1/220371
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 447,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(447,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(447,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(447,493) = ( 447 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(447,493) = 220371 / 1
LCM(447,493) = 220371
