Lets's calculate GCF of 863,973
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 863
:1,863
Now, list down the factors of 973
:1,7,139,973
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 863,973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 863,973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36139
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36139
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 863/71,973/509 is 1/36139
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 71,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,509) = ( 71 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(71,509) = 36139 / 1
LCM(71,509) = 36139
