:1,37,83,3071
Now, list down the factors of 2462
:1,2,1231,2462
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3071,2462 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3071,2462 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 912,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3071/912,2462/257 is 1/234384
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 912,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(912,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(912,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(912,257) = ( 912 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(912,257) = 234384 / 1
LCM(912,257) = 234384
