The factors of 67 are 1, 67
The factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, 87
The HCF of 67,87 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 67,87
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,942
2 | 520, 942 |
260, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 471 = 244920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/244920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 67/520,87/942 is 1/244920
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 520,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,942) = ( 520 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(520,942) = 489840 / 2
LCM(520,942) = 244920
