Now, list down the factors of 290
:1,2,5,10,29,58,145,290
Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 290,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 290,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 129,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 126291
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/126291
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/129,971/979 is 1/126291
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 129,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(129,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(129,979) = ( 129 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(129,979) = 126291 / 1
LCM(129,979) = 126291
