Lets's calculate GCF of 197,831
∴ 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 831
:1,3,277,831
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,831 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,831 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 220430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/220430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/938,831/235 is 1/220430
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 938,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,235) = ( 938 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(938,235) = 220430 / 1
LCM(938,235) = 220430
