Lets's calculate GCF of 5051,4634
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 5051
:1,5051
Now, list down the factors of 4634
:1,2,7,14,331,662,2317,4634
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5051,4634 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5051,4634 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72377
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72377
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5051/157,4634/461 is 1/72377
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 157,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,461) = ( 157 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(157,461) = 72377 / 1
LCM(157,461) = 72377
