∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Now, list down the factors of 481
:1,13,37,481
Now, list down the factors of 259
:1,7,37,259
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 481,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 481,259 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/295318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/991,259/298 is 37/295318
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 991,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,298) = ( 991 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(991,298) = 295318 / 1
LCM(991,298) = 295318
