Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 239,5242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 239,5242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 239/212,5242/281 is 1/59572
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 212,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,281) = ( 212 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(212,281) = 59572 / 1
LCM(212,281) = 59572
