:1,859
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 460,859 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 460,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 539,512
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 275968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/275968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/539,859/512 is 1/275968
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 539,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,512) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,512) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,512) = ( 539 × 512 ) / 1
LCM(539,512) = 275968 / 1
LCM(539,512) = 275968
