Lets's calculate GCF of 251,953
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 251
:1,251
Now, list down the factors of 953
:1,953
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 251,953 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 251,953 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/972,953/179 is 1/173988
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 972,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,179) = ( 972 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(972,179) = 173988 / 1
LCM(972,179) = 173988
