Lets's calculate GCF of 487,512
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 487
:1,487
Now, list down the factors of 512
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 487,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 487,512 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 364,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/364,512/551 is 1/200564
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 364,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(364,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(364,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(364,551) = ( 364 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(364,551) = 200564 / 1
LCM(364,551) = 200564
