:1,2,263,526
Now, list down the factors of 281
:1,281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 526,281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 526,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 423,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/236880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/423,281/560 is 1/236880
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 423,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(423,560) = ( 423 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(423,560) = 236880 / 1
LCM(423,560) = 236880
