The factors of 9943 are 1, 61, 163, 9943
The HCF of 1801,9943 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1801,9943
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 1801
:1,1801
Now, list down the factors of 9943
:1,61,163,9943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1801,9943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1801,9943 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1801/257,9943/197 is 1/50629
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 257,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,197) = ( 257 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(257,197) = 50629 / 1
LCM(257,197) = 50629
