Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 282,991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/282,387/991 is 1/279462
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 282,991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(282,991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(282,991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(282,991) = ( 282 × 991 ) / 1
LCM(282,991) = 279462 / 1
LCM(282,991) = 279462
