Now, list down the factors of 267
:1,3,89,267
Now, list down the factors of 843
:1,3,281,843
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 267,843 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 267,843 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,255
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45645
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45645
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 267/179,843/255 is 3/45645
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 179,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,255) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,255) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,255) = ( 179 × 255 ) / 1
LCM(179,255) = 45645 / 1
LCM(179,255) = 45645
