Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 497,526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 497,526 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/83,526/520 is 1/43160
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 83,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,520) = ( 83 × 520 ) / 1
LCM(83,520) = 43160 / 1
LCM(83,520) = 43160
