Lets's calculate GCF of 467,538
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 467
:1,467
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 467,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 467,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 467/64,538/197 is 1/12608
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 64,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,197) = ( 64 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(64,197) = 12608 / 1
LCM(64,197) = 12608
