∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 591
:1,3,197,591
Now, list down the factors of 228
:1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,228 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,945
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78435
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/78435
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/83,228/945 is 3/78435
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 83,945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,945) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,945) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,945) = ( 83 × 945 ) / 1
LCM(83,945) = 78435 / 1
LCM(83,945) = 78435
