:1,2,191,382
Now, list down the factors of 531
:1,3,9,59,177,531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 620,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/620,531/187 is 1/115940
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 620,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(620,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(620,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(620,187) = ( 620 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(620,187) = 115940 / 1
LCM(620,187) = 115940
