Now, list down the factors of 332
:1,2,4,83,166,332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 679,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 679,332 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 679/231,332/857 is 1/197967
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 231,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,857) = ( 231 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(231,857) = 197967 / 1
LCM(231,857) = 197967
