Now, list down the factors of 267
:1,3,89,267
Now, list down the factors of 407
:1,11,37,407
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 267,407 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 267,407 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42717
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42717
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 267/87,407/491 is 1/42717
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 87,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,491) = ( 87 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(87,491) = 42717 / 1
LCM(87,491) = 42717
