Now, list down the factors of 87
:1,3,29,87
Now, list down the factors of 3011
:1,3011
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,3011 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,3011 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,3271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 732704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/732704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/224,3011/3271 is 1/732704
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 224,3271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,3271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,3271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,3271) = ( 224 × 3271 ) / 1
LCM(224,3271) = 732704 / 1
LCM(224,3271) = 732704
