Now, list down the factors of 489
:1,3,163,489
Now, list down the factors of 984
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,41,82,123,164,246,328,492,984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 489,984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 489,984 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/94235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 489/401,984/235 is 3/94235
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 401,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,235) = ( 401 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(401,235) = 94235 / 1
LCM(401,235) = 94235
