Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 320,498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 320,498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22869
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/22869
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/27,498/847 is 2/22869
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 27,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,847) = ( 27 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(27,847) = 22869 / 1
LCM(27,847) = 22869
