Now, list down the factors of 717
:1,3,239,717
Now, list down the factors of 489
:1,3,163,489
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 717,489 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 717,489 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 117,446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/52182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/117,489/446 is 3/52182
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 117,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,446) = ( 117 × 446 ) / 1
LCM(117,446) = 52182 / 1
LCM(117,446) = 52182
