We found the factors 253,521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 844,412
2 | 844, 412 |
2 | 422, 206 |
211, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 211 x 103 = 86932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/844,521/412 is 1/86932
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 844,412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,412) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(844,412) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(844,412) = ( 844 × 412 ) / 4
LCM(844,412) = 347728 / 4
LCM(844,412) = 86932
