Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7544,4961 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7544,4961 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 507,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/127257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7544/507,4961/251 is 41/127257
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 507,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(507,251) = ( 507 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(507,251) = 127257 / 1
LCM(507,251) = 127257
