Now, list down the factors of 284
:1,2,4,71,142,284
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 587,284 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,284 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 808,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/290072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/808,284/359 is 1/290072
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 808,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(808,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(808,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(808,359) = ( 808 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(808,359) = 290072 / 1
LCM(808,359) = 290072
