Lets's calculate GCF of 311,226
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 311
:1,311
Now, list down the factors of 226
:1,2,113,226
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 311,226 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 311,226 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 311/14,226/281 is 1/3934
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 14,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,281) = ( 14 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(14,281) = 3934 / 1
LCM(14,281) = 3934
