Therefore, the GCF of 209/10,171/587 is 19/5870.
To find the highest common factor of 209,171, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 209 are 1, 11, 19, 209
The factors of 171 are 1, 3, 9, 19, 57, 171
The HCF of 209,171 is 19.
Lets's calculate GCF of 209,171
19 | 209, 171 |
11, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Now, list down the factors of 209
:1,11,19,209
Now, list down the factors of 171
:1,3,9,19,57,171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 209,171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 209,171 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/5870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 209/10,171/587 is 19/5870
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 10,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,587) = ( 10 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(10,587) = 5870 / 1
LCM(10,587) = 5870
