Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 522,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 522,387 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 895,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 319515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/319515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 522/895,387/357 is 9/319515
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 895,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(895,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(895,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(895,357) = ( 895 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(895,357) = 319515 / 1
LCM(895,357) = 319515
