Lets's calculate GCF of 130,996
2 | 130, 996 |
65, 498 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 130
:1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Now, list down the factors of 996
:1,2,3,4,6,12,83,166,249,332,498,996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 130,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 130,996 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,237
3 | 141, 237 |
47, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 47 x 79 = 11139
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11139
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 130/141,996/237 is 2/11139
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 141,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,237) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,237) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(141,237) = ( 141 × 237 ) / 3
LCM(141,237) = 33417 / 3
LCM(141,237) = 11139
