Lets's calculate GCF of 516,121
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 516
:1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Now, list down the factors of 121
:1,11,121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 516,121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 516,121 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 655,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149995
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149995
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/655,121/229 is 1/149995
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 655,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(655,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(655,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(655,229) = ( 655 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(655,229) = 149995 / 1
LCM(655,229) = 149995
