Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9959,9257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9959,9257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,494
2 | 280, 494 |
140, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 140 x 247 = 69160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9959/280,9257/494 is 1/69160
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 280,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,494) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,494) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(280,494) = ( 280 × 494 ) / 2
LCM(280,494) = 138320 / 2
LCM(280,494) = 69160
