Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 439,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 439,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 439/285,862/587 is 1/167295
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 285,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,587) = ( 285 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(285,587) = 167295 / 1
LCM(285,587) = 167295
