Lets's calculate GCF of 3171,8221
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 3171
:1,3,7,21,151,453,1057,3171
Now, list down the factors of 8221
:1,8221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3171,8221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3171,8221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 631,386
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3171/631,8221/386 is 1/243566
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 631,386 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(631,386) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(631,386) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(631,386) = ( 631 × 386 ) / 1
LCM(631,386) = 243566 / 1
LCM(631,386) = 243566
