Now, list down the factors of 490
:1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Now, list down the factors of 477
:1,3,9,53,159,477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,477 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9979
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9979
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/17,477/587 is 1/9979
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 17,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,587) = ( 17 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(17,587) = 9979 / 1
LCM(17,587) = 9979
