Lets's calculate GCF of 501,1384
∴ 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 1384
:1,2,4,8,173,346,692,1384
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 501,1384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,1384 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 623364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/623364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/861,1384/724 is 1/623364
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 861,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,724) = ( 861 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(861,724) = 623364 / 1
LCM(861,724) = 623364
