Now, list down the factors of 601
:1,601
Now, list down the factors of 370
:1,2,5,10,37,74,185,370
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,370 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,370 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/159,370/274 is 1/43566
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 159,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,274) = ( 159 × 274 ) / 1
LCM(159,274) = 43566 / 1
LCM(159,274) = 43566
