Lets's calculate GCF of 212,829
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 212
:1,2,4,53,106,212
Now, list down the factors of 829
:1,829
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,829 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,829 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/75738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/78,829/971 is 1/75738
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 78,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,971) = ( 78 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(78,971) = 75738 / 1
LCM(78,971) = 75738
