Lets's calculate GCF of 752,143
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 752
:1,2,4,8,16,47,94,188,376,752
Now, list down the factors of 143
:1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 752,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 752,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/399784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 752/472,143/847 is 1/399784
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 472,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,847) = ( 472 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(472,847) = 399784 / 1
LCM(472,847) = 399784
