Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 209,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 209,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 960,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 467520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/467520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 209/960,542/487 is 1/467520
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 960,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(960,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(960,487) = ( 960 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(960,487) = 467520 / 1
LCM(960,487) = 467520
