Now, list down the factors of 530
:1,2,5,10,53,106,265,530
Now, list down the factors of 298
:1,2,149,298
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,298 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,298 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 114,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 110694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/110694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/114,298/971 is 2/110694
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 114,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(114,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(114,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(114,971) = ( 114 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(114,971) = 110694 / 1
LCM(114,971) = 110694
