Now, list down the factors of 345
:1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Now, list down the factors of 508
:1,2,4,127,254,508
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 345,508 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,508 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,312
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/557,508/312 is 1/173784
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 557,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,312) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,312) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,312) = ( 557 × 312 ) / 1
LCM(557,312) = 173784 / 1
LCM(557,312) = 173784
