:1,5,19,25,95,475
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 475,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 475,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/43,538/479 is 1/20597
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 43,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,479) = ( 43 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(43,479) = 20597 / 1
LCM(43,479) = 20597
