Now, list down the factors of 87
:1,3,29,87
Now, list down the factors of 74
:1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,74 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 175,1163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203525
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203525
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/175,74/1163 is 1/203525
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 175,1163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(175,1163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(175,1163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(175,1163) = ( 175 × 1163 ) / 1
LCM(175,1163) = 203525 / 1
LCM(175,1163) = 203525
