Now, list down the factors of 249
:1,3,83,249
Now, list down the factors of 481
:1,13,37,481
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 249,481 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 249,481 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 249/89,481/173 is 1/15397
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 89,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,173) = ( 89 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(89,173) = 15397 / 1
LCM(89,173) = 15397
