Lets's calculate GCF of 229,142
∴ 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 142
:1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 229,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 229,142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/86,142/971 is 1/83506
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 86,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,971) = ( 86 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(86,971) = 83506 / 1
LCM(86,971) = 83506
