Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 428,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 428,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/217750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/871,971/250 is 1/217750
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 871,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,250) = ( 871 × 250 ) / 1
LCM(871,250) = 217750 / 1
LCM(871,250) = 217750
