Now, list down the factors of 461
:1,461
Now, list down the factors of 197
:1,197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 461,197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 461,197 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,562
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 537834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/537834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 461/957,197/562 is 1/537834
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 957,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,562) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,562) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,562) = ( 957 × 562 ) / 1
LCM(957,562) = 537834 / 1
LCM(957,562) = 537834
