Lets's calculate GCF of 443,531
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 443
:1,443
Now, list down the factors of 531
:1,3,9,59,177,531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 443,531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 443,531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,346
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 443/71,531/346 is 1/24566
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 71,346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,346) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,346) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,346) = ( 71 × 346 ) / 1
LCM(71,346) = 24566 / 1
LCM(71,346) = 24566
