:1,967
Now, list down the factors of 242
:1,2,11,22,121,242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 967,242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 967,242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 967/172,242/501 is 1/86172
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 172,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,501) = ( 172 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(172,501) = 86172 / 1
LCM(172,501) = 86172
