Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5979,2169 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5979,2169 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 431,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365057
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/365057
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5979/431,2169/847 is 3/365057
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 431,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(431,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(431,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(431,847) = ( 431 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(431,847) = 365057 / 1
LCM(431,847) = 365057
