:1,13,31,403
Now, list down the factors of 470
:1,2,5,10,47,94,235,470
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 403,470 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 403,470 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,486
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 471906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/471906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/971,470/486 is 1/471906
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 971,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,486) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,486) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,486) = ( 971 × 486 ) / 1
LCM(971,486) = 471906 / 1
LCM(971,486) = 471906
