Now, list down the factors of 279
:1,3,9,31,93,279
Now, list down the factors of 241
:1,241
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,241 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,241 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 798,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 599298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/599298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/798,241/751 is 1/599298
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 798,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(798,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(798,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(798,751) = ( 798 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(798,751) = 599298 / 1
LCM(798,751) = 599298
