Now, list down the factors of 459
:1,3,9,17,27,51,153,459
Now, list down the factors of 256
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 459,256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 459,256 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35203
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35203
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 459/47,256/749 is 1/35203
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 47,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,749) = ( 47 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(47,749) = 35203 / 1
LCM(47,749) = 35203
