Lets's calculate GCF of 162,121
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 162
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Now, list down the factors of 121
:1,11,121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,121 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/77,121/958 is 1/73766
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 77,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,958) = ( 77 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(77,958) = 73766 / 1
LCM(77,958) = 73766
