1,2,3,6,853,1706,2559,5118
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 257,5118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 257,5118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 286,177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 257/286,5118/177 is 1/50622
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 286,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(286,177) = ( 286 × 177 ) / 1
LCM(286,177) = 50622 / 1
LCM(286,177) = 50622
