We found the factors 539,497 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,497 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 885,357
3 | 885, 357 |
295, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 295 x 119 = 105315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/105315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/885,497/357 is 7/105315
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 885,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(885,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(885,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(885,357) = ( 885 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(885,357) = 315945 / 3
LCM(885,357) = 105315
