Lets's calculate GCF of 262,143
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 262
:1,2,131,262
Now, list down the factors of 143
:1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 262,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22167
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22167
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/27,143/821 is 1/22167
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 27,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,821) = ( 27 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(27,821) = 22167 / 1
LCM(27,821) = 22167
