:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/136708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/956,238/143 is 2/136708
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 956,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,143) = ( 956 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(956,143) = 136708 / 1
LCM(956,143) = 136708
