:1,3,29,87
Now, list down the factors of 44
:1,2,4,11,22,44
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,44 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,44 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,9649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2132429
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2132429
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/221,44/9649 is 1/2132429
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 221,9649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,9649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,9649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,9649) = ( 221 × 9649 ) / 1
LCM(221,9649) = 2132429 / 1
LCM(221,9649) = 2132429
