Lets's calculate GCF of 231,346
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Now, list down the factors of 346
:1,2,173,346
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,346 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,109
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/262,346/109 is 1/28558
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 262,109 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,109) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,109) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,109) = ( 262 × 109 ) / 1
LCM(262,109) = 28558 / 1
LCM(262,109) = 28558
