Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 564,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 564,471 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,546
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 429702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/429702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/787,471/546 is 3/429702
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 787,546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,546) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,546) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,546) = ( 787 × 546 ) / 1
LCM(787,546) = 429702 / 1
LCM(787,546) = 429702
