Now, list down the factors of 463
:1,463
Now, list down the factors of 846
:1,2,3,6,9,18,47,94,141,282,423,846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 463,846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 463,846 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117459
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117459
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 463/421,846/279 is 1/117459
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 421,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,279) = ( 421 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(421,279) = 117459 / 1
LCM(421,279) = 117459
