Now, list down the factors of 773
:1,773
Now, list down the factors of 486
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 773,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 773,486 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 773/18,486/251 is 1/4518
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 18,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,251) = ( 18 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(18,251) = 4518 / 1
LCM(18,251) = 4518
