Lets's calculate GCF of 268,571
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 268
:1,2,4,67,134,268
Now, list down the factors of 571
:1,571
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,571 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,571 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/52,571/253 is 1/13156
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 52,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,253) = ( 52 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(52,253) = 13156 / 1
LCM(52,253) = 13156
