Now, list down the factors of 579
:1,3,193,579
Now, list down the factors of 147
:1,3,7,21,49,147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 579,147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 579,147 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/386666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/497,147/778 is 3/386666
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 497,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,778) = ( 497 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(497,778) = 386666 / 1
LCM(497,778) = 386666
