Lets's calculate GCF of 641,238
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 641
:1,641
Now, list down the factors of 238
:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 641,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 641,238 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,912
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 641/47,238/912 is 1/42864
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 47,912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,912) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,912) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,912) = ( 47 × 912 ) / 1
LCM(47,912) = 42864 / 1
LCM(47,912) = 42864
