Now, list down the factors of 647
:1,647
Now, list down the factors of 160
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 647,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 647,160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 642782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/642782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 647/686,160/937 is 1/642782
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 686,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(686,937) = ( 686 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(686,937) = 642782 / 1
LCM(686,937) = 642782
