Now, list down the factors of 803
:1,11,73,803
Now, list down the factors of 878
:1,2,439,878
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 803,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 803,878 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 803/40,878/421 is 1/16840
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 40,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,421) = ( 40 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(40,421) = 16840 / 1
LCM(40,421) = 16840
