Now, list down the factors of 255
:1,3,5,15,17,51,85,255
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 283,255 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 283,255 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 488,307
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 283/488,255/307 is 1/149816
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 488,307 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,307) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,307) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(488,307) = ( 488 × 307 ) / 1
LCM(488,307) = 149816 / 1
LCM(488,307) = 149816
