Now, list down the factors of 530
:1,2,5,10,53,106,265,530
Now, list down the factors of 724
:1,2,4,181,362,724
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,724 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,365
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 357335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/357335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/979,724/365 is 2/357335
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 979,365 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,365) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,365) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,365) = ( 979 × 365 ) / 1
LCM(979,365) = 357335 / 1
LCM(979,365) = 357335
