∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 523
:1,523
Now, list down the factors of 117
:1,3,9,13,39,117
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 523,117 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 523,117 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41783
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41783
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 523/47,117/889 is 1/41783
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 47,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,889) = ( 47 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(47,889) = 41783 / 1
LCM(47,889) = 41783
