:1,2,3,4,6,12,607,1214,1821,2428,3642,7284
Now, list down the factors of 1050
:1,2,3,5,6,7,10,14,15,21,25,30,35,42,50,70,75,105,150,175,210,350,525,1050
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7284,1050 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7284,1050 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 390,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/179790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7284/390,1050/461 is 6/179790
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 390,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(390,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(390,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(390,461) = ( 390 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(390,461) = 179790 / 1
LCM(390,461) = 179790
