1,3,5,9,15,27,29,45,87,135,145,261,435,783,1305,3915
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 232,3915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 232,3915 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/28743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/33,3915/871 is 29/28743
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 33,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,871) = ( 33 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(33,871) = 28743 / 1
LCM(33,871) = 28743
