Lets's calculate GCF of 187,196
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 187
:1,11,17,187
Now, list down the factors of 196
:1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,196 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,196 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,767
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/28,196/767 is 1/21476
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 28,767 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,767) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,767) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,767) = ( 28 × 767 ) / 1
LCM(28,767) = 21476 / 1
LCM(28,767) = 21476
