Now, list down the factors of 991
:1,991
Now, list down the factors of 189
:1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 991,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 991,189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,273
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/53,189/273 is 1/14469
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 53,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,273) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,273) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,273) = ( 53 × 273 ) / 1
LCM(53,273) = 14469 / 1
LCM(53,273) = 14469
