Lets's calculate GCF of 141,422
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 141
:1,3,47,141
Now, list down the factors of 422
:1,2,211,422
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,422 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45199
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45199
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/77,422/587 is 1/45199
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 77,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,587) = ( 77 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(77,587) = 45199 / 1
LCM(77,587) = 45199
