:1,353
Now, list down the factors of 978
:1,2,3,6,163,326,489,978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 353,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 353,978 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 353/74,978/271 is 1/20054
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 74,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,271) = ( 74 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(74,271) = 20054 / 1
LCM(74,271) = 20054
