Lets's calculate GCF of 196,257
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 196
:1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Now, list down the factors of 257
:1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,548
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/17,257/548 is 1/9316
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 17,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,548) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,548) = ( 17 × 548 ) / 1
LCM(17,548) = 9316 / 1
LCM(17,548) = 9316
