∴ 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 401
:1,401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 523,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 523,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/219674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 523/497,401/442 is 1/219674
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 497,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,442) = ( 497 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(497,442) = 219674 / 1
LCM(497,442) = 219674
