:1,2,11,22,443,886,4873,9746
Now, list down the factors of 2141
:1,2141
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9746,2141 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9746,2141 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 391,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9746/391,2141/172 is 1/67252
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 391,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,172) = ( 391 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(391,172) = 67252 / 1
LCM(391,172) = 67252
