Lets's calculate GCF of 477,212
53 | 477, 212 |
9, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 53 = 53
Now, list down the factors of 477
:1,3,9,53,159,477
Now, list down the factors of 212
:1,2,4,53,106,212
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 477,212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 477,212 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 577,452
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 260804
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/260804
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 477/577,212/452 is 53/260804
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 577,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,452) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,452) = ( 577 × 452 ) / 1
LCM(577,452) = 260804 / 1
LCM(577,452) = 260804
