We found the factors 4347,3201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4347,3201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 493485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/493485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4347/985,3201/501 is 3/493485
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 985,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,501) = ( 985 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(985,501) = 493485 / 1
LCM(985,501) = 493485
