Lets's calculate GCF of 838,827
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 838
:1,2,419,838
Now, list down the factors of 827
:1,827
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,827 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,827 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,170
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/71,827/170 is 1/12070
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 71,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,170) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,170) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,170) = ( 71 × 170 ) / 1
LCM(71,170) = 12070 / 1
LCM(71,170) = 12070
