:1,7,49,343
Now, list down the factors of 745
:1,5,149,745
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 343,745 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 343,745 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,526
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/135182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 343/257,745/526 is 1/135182
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 257,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,526) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,526) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,526) = ( 257 × 526 ) / 1
LCM(257,526) = 135182 / 1
LCM(257,526) = 135182
