Now, list down the factors of 187
:1,11,17,187
Now, list down the factors of 326
:1,2,163,326
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,326 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,326 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,469
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41741
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41741
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/89,326/469 is 1/41741
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 89,469 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,469) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,469) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,469) = ( 89 × 469 ) / 1
LCM(89,469) = 41741 / 1
LCM(89,469) = 41741
