The factors of 83 are 1, 83
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The HCF of 83,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,36
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 83
:1,83
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 105798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/105798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/458,36/231 is 1/105798
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 458,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(458,231) = ( 458 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(458,231) = 105798 / 1
LCM(458,231) = 105798
