Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2171,4021 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2171,4021 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,3887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1208857
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1208857
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2171/311,4021/3887 is 1/1208857
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 311,3887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,3887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,3887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,3887) = ( 311 × 3887 ) / 1
LCM(311,3887) = 1208857 / 1
LCM(311,3887) = 1208857
