∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 97 = 97
Now, list down the factors of 485
:1,5,97,485
Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 485,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 485,873 is 97.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,152
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 97/36024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 485/237,873/152 is 97/36024
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 237,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,152) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,152) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,152) = ( 237 × 152 ) / 1
LCM(237,152) = 36024 / 1
LCM(237,152) = 36024
