:1,457
Now, list down the factors of 4601
:1,43,107,4601
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 457,4601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 457,4601 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 469,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 457/469,4601/178 is 1/83482
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 469,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,178) = ( 469 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(469,178) = 83482 / 1
LCM(469,178) = 83482
