So the greatest common factor 339,5859 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/94004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 339/284,5859/331 is 3/94004
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 284,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,331) = ( 284 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(284,331) = 94004 / 1
LCM(284,331) = 94004
