Lets's calculate GCF of 3121,7222
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 3121
:1,3121
Now, list down the factors of 7222
:1,2,23,46,157,314,3611,7222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3121,7222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3121,7222 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,1784
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 308632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/308632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3121/173,7222/1784 is 1/308632
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 173,1784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,1784) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,1784) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,1784) = ( 173 × 1784 ) / 1
LCM(173,1784) = 308632 / 1
LCM(173,1784) = 308632
