Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2286,2169 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2286,2169 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 456,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 450984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/450984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2286/456,2169/989 is 9/450984
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 456,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(456,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(456,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(456,989) = ( 456 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(456,989) = 450984 / 1
LCM(456,989) = 450984
