Lets's calculate GCF of 525,149
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 525
:1,3,5,7,15,21,25,35,75,105,175,525
Now, list down the factors of 149
:1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 525,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 525,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 425500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/425500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/851,149/500 is 1/425500
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 851,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,500) = ( 851 × 500 ) / 1
LCM(851,500) = 425500 / 1
LCM(851,500) = 425500
