Now, list down the factors of 248
:1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Now, list down the factors of 766
:1,2,383,766
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,766 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,766 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 376607
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/376607
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/737,766/511 is 2/376607
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 737,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,511) = ( 737 × 511 ) / 1
LCM(737,511) = 376607 / 1
LCM(737,511) = 376607
