Now, list down the factors of 517
:1,11,47,517
Now, list down the factors of 417
:1,3,139,417
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 517,417 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,417 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,239
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/87,417/239 is 1/20793
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 87,239 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,239) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,239) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,239) = ( 87 × 239 ) / 1
LCM(87,239) = 20793 / 1
LCM(87,239) = 20793
