:1,1171
Now, list down the factors of 1742
:1,2,13,26,67,134,871,1742
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1171,1742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1171,1742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 413,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114401
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/114401
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1171/413,1742/277 is 1/114401
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 413,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(413,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(413,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(413,277) = ( 413 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(413,277) = 114401 / 1
LCM(413,277) = 114401
