The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14
The factors of 85 are 1, 5, 17, 85
The HCF of 14,85 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,85
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 14
:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 85
:1,5,17,85
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,85 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,85 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,3472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 836752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/836752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/241,85/3472 is 1/836752
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 241,3472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,3472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,3472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,3472) = ( 241 × 3472 ) / 1
LCM(241,3472) = 836752 / 1
LCM(241,3472) = 836752
