Now, list down the factors of 455
:1,5,7,13,35,65,91,455
Now, list down the factors of 131
:1,131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 455,131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 455,131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/268598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 455/421,131/638 is 1/268598
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 421,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,638) = ( 421 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(421,638) = 268598 / 1
LCM(421,638) = 268598
