Lets's calculate GCF of 197,959
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 197
:1,197
Now, list down the factors of 959
:1,7,137,959
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9087
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9087
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/39,959/233 is 1/9087
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 39,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(39,233) = ( 39 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(39,233) = 9087 / 1
LCM(39,233) = 9087
