Lets's calculate GCF of 743,422
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 743
:1,743
Now, list down the factors of 422
:1,2,211,422
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 743,422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 743,422 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21489
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21489
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 743/87,422/247 is 1/21489
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 87,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,247) = ( 87 × 247 ) / 1
LCM(87,247) = 21489 / 1
LCM(87,247) = 21489
