Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 340,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 340,387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,8487
41 | 41, 8487 |
1, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 41 x 1 x 207 = 8487
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8487
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 340/41,387/8487 is 1/8487
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 41,8487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,8487) = 41
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,8487) x common factors =41 x 1 = 41
LCM(41,8487) = ( 41 × 8487 ) / 41
LCM(41,8487) = 347967 / 41
LCM(41,8487) = 8487
