Now, list down the factors of 809
:1,809
Now, list down the factors of 856
:1,2,4,8,107,214,428,856
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 809,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 809,856 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/178500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 809/500,856/357 is 1/178500
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 500,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,357) = ( 500 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(500,357) = 178500 / 1
LCM(500,357) = 178500
