Lets's calculate GCF of 431,887
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 431
:1,431
Now, list down the factors of 887
:1,887
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,887 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,887 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,343
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 97755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/285,887/343 is 1/97755
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 285,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,343) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,343) = ( 285 × 343 ) / 1
LCM(285,343) = 97755 / 1
LCM(285,343) = 97755
