The factors of 241 are 1, 241
The factors of 538 are 1, 2, 269, 538
The HCF of 241,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 241,538
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 241
:1,241
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 241,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 241,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 273,970
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 241/273,538/970 is 1/264810
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 273,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,970) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,970) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(273,970) = ( 273 × 970 ) / 1
LCM(273,970) = 264810 / 1
LCM(273,970) = 264810
