:1,5,101,505
Now, list down the factors of 2521
:1,2521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 505,2521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 505,2521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243122
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243122
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 505/257,2521/946 is 1/243122
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 257,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,946) = ( 257 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(257,946) = 243122 / 1
LCM(257,946) = 243122
