Now, list down the factors of 206
:1,2,103,206
Now, list down the factors of 973
:1,7,139,973
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 206,973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 206,973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/68,973/125 is 1/8500
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 68,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,125) = ( 68 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(68,125) = 8500 / 1
LCM(68,125) = 8500
