Now, list down the factors of 282
:1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Now, list down the factors of 431
:1,431
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 282,431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 282,431 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 99599
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/99599
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/137,431/727 is 1/99599
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 137,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,727) = ( 137 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(137,727) = 99599 / 1
LCM(137,727) = 99599
