Now, list down the factors of 2141
:1,2141
Now, list down the factors of 8702
:1,2,19,38,229,458,4351,8702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2141,8702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2141,8702 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35757
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35757
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2141/137,8702/261 is 1/35757
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 137,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,261) = ( 137 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(137,261) = 35757 / 1
LCM(137,261) = 35757
