:1,3,9,89,267,801
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 518,801 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 518,801 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 303,471
3 | 303, 471 |
101, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 101 x 157 = 47571
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47571
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/303,801/471 is 1/47571
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 303,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(303,471) = ( 303 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(303,471) = 142713 / 3
LCM(303,471) = 47571
