Lets's calculate LCM of 285,917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 261345
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/261345
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/285,533/917 is 13/261345
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 285,917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,917) = ( 285 × 917 ) / 1
LCM(285,917) = 261345 / 1
LCM(285,917) = 261345
