Therefore, the GCF of 41/871,16/3173 is 1/2763683.
To find the highest common factor of 41,16, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 41 are 1, 41
The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
The HCF of 41,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 41,16
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,3173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2763683
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2763683
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/871,16/3173 is 1/2763683
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 871,3173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,3173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,3173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,3173) = ( 871 × 3173 ) / 1
LCM(871,3173) = 2763683 / 1
LCM(871,3173) = 2763683
