Lets's calculate GCF of 284,971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 284
:1,2,4,71,142,284
Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 375,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/375,971/251 is 1/94125
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 375,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(375,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(375,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(375,251) = ( 375 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(375,251) = 94125 / 1
LCM(375,251) = 94125
