Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 538,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 538,703 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 867,351
3 | 867, 351 |
289, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 289 x 117 = 101439
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101439
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 538/867,703/351 is 1/101439
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 867,351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,351) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,351) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(867,351) = ( 867 × 351 ) / 3
LCM(867,351) = 304317 / 3
LCM(867,351) = 101439
