∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 454
:1,2,227,454
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 454,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 454,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/147244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 454/281,159/524 is 1/147244
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 281,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,524) = ( 281 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(281,524) = 147244 / 1
LCM(281,524) = 147244
