The factors of 941 are 1, 941
The factors of 115 are 1, 5, 23, 115
The HCF of 941,115 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 941,115
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 941
:1,941
Now, list down the factors of 115
:1,5,23,115
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 941,115 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 941,115 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,494
2 | 42, 494 |
21, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 247 = 10374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 941/42,115/494 is 1/10374
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 42,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,494) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,494) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,494) = ( 42 × 494 ) / 2
LCM(42,494) = 20748 / 2
LCM(42,494) = 10374
