Now, list down the factors of 1998
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,37,54,74,111,222,333,666,999,1998
Now, list down the factors of 8531
:1,19,449,8531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1998,8531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1998,8531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1998/141,8531/274 is 1/38634
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 141,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(141,274) = ( 141 × 274 ) / 1
LCM(141,274) = 38634 / 1
LCM(141,274) = 38634
