:1,709
Now, list down the factors of 518
:1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 709,518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 709,518 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 709/42,518/311 is 1/13062
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 42,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,311) = ( 42 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(42,311) = 13062 / 1
LCM(42,311) = 13062
