Now, list down the factors of 279
:1,3,9,31,93,279
Now, list down the factors of 344
:1,2,4,8,43,86,172,344
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,344 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,344 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 563,764
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 430132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/430132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/563,344/764 is 1/430132
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 563,764 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(563,764) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(563,764) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(563,764) = ( 563 × 764 ) / 1
LCM(563,764) = 430132 / 1
LCM(563,764) = 430132
