Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,878 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 791,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 385217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/385217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/791,878/487 is 1/385217
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 791,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(791,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(791,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(791,487) = ( 791 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(791,487) = 385217 / 1
LCM(791,487) = 385217
