The GCF of 27,71 is 1 .
LCM of 986,1768 is 51272.
The greatest common factor of 27/986,71/1768 = [GCF of 27,71]/[LCM of 986,1768]= 1/51272
Therefore, the GCF of 27/986,71/1768 is 1/51272.
To find the highest common factor of 27,71, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, 27
The factors of 71 are 1, 71
The HCF of 27,71 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,71
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,1768
2 | 986, 1768 |
17 | 493, 884 |
29, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 29 x 52 = 51272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/986,71/1768 is 1/51272
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 986,1768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,1768) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,1768) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(986,1768) = ( 986 × 1768 ) / 34
LCM(986,1768) = 1743248 / 34
LCM(986,1768) = 51272
