We found the factors 3959,4720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3959,4720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183255
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/183255
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3959/285,4720/643 is 1/183255
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 285,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,643) = ( 285 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(285,643) = 183255 / 1
LCM(285,643) = 183255
