∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 358
:1,2,179,358
Now, list down the factors of 417
:1,3,139,417
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 358,417 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 358,417 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,260
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/37,417/260 is 1/9620
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 37,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,260) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,260) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,260) = ( 37 × 260 ) / 1
LCM(37,260) = 9620 / 1
LCM(37,260) = 9620
