The factors of 29 are 1, 29
The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, 38
The HCF of 29,38 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 29,38
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,145
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/136590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/942,38/145 is 1/136590
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 942,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,145) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,145) = ( 942 × 145 ) / 1
LCM(942,145) = 136590 / 1
LCM(942,145) = 136590
