:1,101
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,101 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,101 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/501,101/236 is 1/118236
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 501,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,236) = ( 501 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(501,236) = 118236 / 1
LCM(501,236) = 118236
