:1,13,37,481
Now, list down the factors of 621
:1,3,9,23,27,69,207,621
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 481,621 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 481,621 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/320,621/587 is 1/187840
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 320,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(320,587) = ( 320 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(320,587) = 187840 / 1
LCM(320,587) = 187840
