∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 21
:1,3,7,21
Now, list down the factors of 4378
:1,2,11,22,199,398,2189,4378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,4378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,4378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 865,3571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3088915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3088915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/865,4378/3571 is 1/3088915
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 865,3571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(865,3571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(865,3571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(865,3571) = ( 865 × 3571 ) / 1
LCM(865,3571) = 3088915 / 1
LCM(865,3571) = 3088915
