:1,293
Now, list down the factors of 147
:1,3,7,21,49,147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 293,147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 293,147 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/206981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/787,147/263 is 1/206981
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 787,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,263) = ( 787 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(787,263) = 206981 / 1
LCM(787,263) = 206981
