:1,2,127,254
Now, list down the factors of 877
:1,877
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,877 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,877 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/389,877/218 is 1/84802
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 389,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,218) = ( 389 × 218 ) / 1
LCM(389,218) = 84802 / 1
LCM(389,218) = 84802
