Now, list down the factors of 686
:1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Now, list down the factors of 947
:1,947
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 686,947 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 686,947 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,475
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 686/41,947/475 is 1/19475
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 41,475 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,475) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,475) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,475) = ( 41 × 475 ) / 1
LCM(41,475) = 19475 / 1
LCM(41,475) = 19475
