Now, list down the factors of 518
:1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 518,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 518,201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 303,290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/303,201/290 is 1/87870
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 303,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(303,290) = ( 303 × 290 ) / 1
LCM(303,290) = 87870 / 1
LCM(303,290) = 87870
