:1,3,7,21
Now, list down the factors of 8851
:1,53,167,8851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,8851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,8851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 169,9782
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1653158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1653158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/169,8851/9782 is 1/1653158
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 169,9782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(169,9782) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(169,9782) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(169,9782) = ( 169 × 9782 ) / 1
LCM(169,9782) = 1653158 / 1
LCM(169,9782) = 1653158
