Lets's calculate GCF of 142,979
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 142
:1,2,71,142
Now, list down the factors of 979
:1,11,89,979
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 142,979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 142,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,224
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 142/45,979/224 is 1/10080
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 45,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,224) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,224) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,224) = ( 45 × 224 ) / 1
LCM(45,224) = 10080 / 1
LCM(45,224) = 10080
