:1,5,47,235
Now, list down the factors of 577
:1,577
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,577 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,577 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/15,577/421 is 1/6315
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 15,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,421) = ( 15 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(15,421) = 6315 / 1
LCM(15,421) = 6315
