:1,2,281,562
Now, list down the factors of 501
:1,3,167,501
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 562,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 562,501 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 849,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 429594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/429594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 562/849,501/506 is 1/429594
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 849,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(849,506) = ( 849 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(849,506) = 429594 / 1
LCM(849,506) = 429594
