Now, list down the factors of 726
:1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66,121,242,363,726
Now, list down the factors of 259
:1,7,37,259
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/285,259/161 is 1/45885
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 285,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,161) = ( 285 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(285,161) = 45885 / 1
LCM(285,161) = 45885
