Lets's calculate GCF of 136,862
2 | 136, 862 |
68, 431 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 136
:1,2,4,8,17,34,68,136
Now, list down the factors of 862
:1,2,431,862
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 136,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 136,862 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11985
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11985
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 136/85,862/141 is 2/11985
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 85,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,141) = ( 85 × 141 ) / 1
LCM(85,141) = 11985 / 1
LCM(85,141) = 11985
