Therefore, the GCF of 17/494,87/5061 is 1/2500134.
To find the highest common factor of 17,87, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, 87
The HCF of 17,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,87
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 494,5061
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2500134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2500134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/494,87/5061 is 1/2500134
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 494,5061 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,5061) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,5061) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(494,5061) = ( 494 × 5061 ) / 1
LCM(494,5061) = 2500134 / 1
LCM(494,5061) = 2500134
