:1,3,11,13,33,39,143,429
Now, list down the factors of 185
:1,5,37,185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 429,185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 429,185 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71079
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71079
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/87,185/817 is 1/71079
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 87,817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,817) = ( 87 × 817 ) / 1
LCM(87,817) = 71079 / 1
LCM(87,817) = 71079
