Lets's calculate GCF of 524,159
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 524
:1,2,4,131,262,524
Now, list down the factors of 159
:1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 617,504
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 310968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/310968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/617,159/504 is 1/310968
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 617,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,504) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,504) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,504) = ( 617 × 504 ) / 1
LCM(617,504) = 310968 / 1
LCM(617,504) = 310968
