Now, list down the factors of 475
:1,5,19,25,95,475
Now, list down the factors of 132
:1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 475,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 475,132 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/44288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/256,132/173 is 1/44288
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 256,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,173) = ( 256 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(256,173) = 44288 / 1
LCM(256,173) = 44288
