Now, list down the factors of 782
:1,2,17,23,34,46,391,782
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 782,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 782,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,4501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 364581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/364581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 782/81,538/4501 is 2/364581
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 81,4501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,4501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,4501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,4501) = ( 81 × 4501 ) / 1
LCM(81,4501) = 364581 / 1
LCM(81,4501) = 364581
