:1,47,53,2491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2454,2491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2454,2491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2454/172,2491/431 is 1/74132
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 172,431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,431) = ( 172 × 431 ) / 1
LCM(172,431) = 74132 / 1
LCM(172,431) = 74132
