Lets's calculate GCF of 133,172
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 133
:1,7,19,133
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 133,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 133,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,112
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 133/87,172/112 is 1/9744
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 87,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,112) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,112) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,112) = ( 87 × 112 ) / 1
LCM(87,112) = 9744 / 1
LCM(87,112) = 9744
