1,2,4,1877,3754,7508
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7523,7508 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7523,7508 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 462,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/226842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7523/462,7508/491 is 1/226842
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 462,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,491) = ( 462 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(462,491) = 226842 / 1
LCM(462,491) = 226842
