:1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 176,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 176,987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,3629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/22,987/3629 is 1/79838
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 22,3629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,3629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,3629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,3629) = ( 22 × 3629 ) / 1
LCM(22,3629) = 79838 / 1
LCM(22,3629) = 79838
