Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,573 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,573 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 489,999
3 | 489, 999 |
163, 333 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 163 x 333 = 162837
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/162837
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/489,573/999 is 3/162837
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 489,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,999) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,999) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(489,999) = ( 489 × 999 ) / 3
LCM(489,999) = 488511 / 3
LCM(489,999) = 162837
