We found the factors 432,1485 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,1485 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 966,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232806
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/232806
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/966,1485/241 is 27/232806
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 966,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(966,241) = ( 966 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(966,241) = 232806 / 1
LCM(966,241) = 232806
