Now, list down the factors of 478
:1,2,239,478
Now, list down the factors of 291
:1,3,97,291
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 478,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 478,291 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,950
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 190950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/190950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 478/201,291/950 is 1/190950
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 201,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,950) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,950) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,950) = ( 201 × 950 ) / 1
LCM(201,950) = 190950 / 1
LCM(201,950) = 190950
