:1,5,7,35,73,365,511,2555
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 730,2555 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 730,2555 is 365.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223321
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 365/223321
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 730/427,2555/523 is 365/223321
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 427,523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,523) = ( 427 × 523 ) / 1
LCM(427,523) = 223321 / 1
LCM(427,523) = 223321
