Lets's calculate GCF of 471,982
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 471
:1,3,157,471
Now, list down the factors of 982
:1,2,491,982
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,982 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,982 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/62,982/741 is 1/45942
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 62,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(62,741) = ( 62 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(62,741) = 45942 / 1
LCM(62,741) = 45942
