The factors of 501 are 1, 3, 167, 501
The factors of 721 are 1, 7, 103, 721
The HCF of 501,721 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 501,721
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 501
:1,3,167,501
Now, list down the factors of 721
:1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 501,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 103,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22351
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22351
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/103,721/217 is 1/22351
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 103,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(103,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(103,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(103,217) = ( 103 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(103,217) = 22351 / 1
LCM(103,217) = 22351
