Lets's calculate GCF of 991,163
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 991
:1,991
Now, list down the factors of 163
:1,163
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 991,163 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 991,163 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/43,163/278 is 1/11954
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 43,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,278) = ( 43 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(43,278) = 11954 / 1
LCM(43,278) = 11954
