Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 359,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 359,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245959
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245959
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 359/857,159/287 is 1/245959
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 857,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,287) = ( 857 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(857,287) = 245959 / 1
LCM(857,287) = 245959
