:1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 560,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 560,987 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,681
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175017
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/175017
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 560/257,987/681 is 7/175017
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 257,681 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,681) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,681) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,681) = ( 257 × 681 ) / 1
LCM(257,681) = 175017 / 1
LCM(257,681) = 175017
