:1,277
Now, list down the factors of 486
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 277,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 277,486 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 412,965
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 397580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/397580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 277/412,486/965 is 1/397580
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 412,965 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(412,965) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(412,965) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(412,965) = ( 412 × 965 ) / 1
LCM(412,965) = 397580 / 1
LCM(412,965) = 397580
