Now, list down the factors of 511
:1,7,73,511
Now, list down the factors of 974
:1,2,487,974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 511,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 511,974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 511/255,974/521 is 1/132855
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 255,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,521) = ( 255 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(255,521) = 132855 / 1
LCM(255,521) = 132855
