We found the factors 233,4187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 233,4187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 264,231
3 | 264, 231 |
11 | 88, 77 |
8, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 8 x 7 = 1848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 233/264,4187/231 is 1/1848
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 264,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,231) = 33
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,231) x common factors =33 x 1 = 33
LCM(264,231) = ( 264 × 231 ) / 33
LCM(264,231) = 60984 / 33
LCM(264,231) = 1848
