:1,11,23,253
Now, list down the factors of 7361
:1,17,433,7361
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,7361 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,7361 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/55,7361/878 is 1/48290
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 55,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,878) = ( 55 × 878 ) / 1
LCM(55,878) = 48290 / 1
LCM(55,878) = 48290
