Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8977,2965 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8977,2965 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 249,238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8977/249,2965/238 is 1/59262
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 249,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(249,238) = ( 249 × 238 ) / 1
LCM(249,238) = 59262 / 1
LCM(249,238) = 59262
