Lets's calculate GCF of 229,421
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 229
:1,229
Now, list down the factors of 421
:1,421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 229,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 229,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,992
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 328352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/328352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/331,421/992 is 1/328352
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 331,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,992) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,992) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,992) = ( 331 × 992 ) / 1
LCM(331,992) = 328352 / 1
LCM(331,992) = 328352
