We found the factors 402,6579 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 402,6579 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,485
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 436985
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/436985
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 402/901,6579/485 is 3/436985
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 901,485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,485) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,485) = ( 901 × 485 ) / 1
LCM(901,485) = 436985 / 1
LCM(901,485) = 436985
