The factors of 431 are 1, 431
The factors of 261 are 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
The HCF of 431,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 431,261
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 431
:1,431
Now, list down the factors of 261
:1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/265234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/986,261/269 is 1/265234
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 986,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,269) = ( 986 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(986,269) = 265234 / 1
LCM(986,269) = 265234
