The factors of 141 are 1, 3, 47, 141
The factors of 996 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
The HCF of 141,996 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 141,996
3 | 141, 996 |
47, 332 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 141
:1,3,47,141
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 141,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,996 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,467
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91999
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/91999
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/197,996/467 is 3/91999
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 197,467 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,467) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,467) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,467) = ( 197 × 467 ) / 1
LCM(197,467) = 91999 / 1
LCM(197,467) = 91999
