So the greatest common factor 57,846 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 882,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 459522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/459522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/882,846/521 is 3/459522
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 882,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(882,521) = ( 882 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(882,521) = 459522 / 1
LCM(882,521) = 459522
