Now, list down the factors of 258
:1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 887,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 887,258 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,385
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 107415
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/107415
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 887/279,258/385 is 1/107415
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 279,385 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,385) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,385) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,385) = ( 279 × 385 ) / 1
LCM(279,385) = 107415 / 1
LCM(279,385) = 107415
