:1,11,73,803
Now, list down the factors of 9731
:1,37,263,9731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 803,9731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 803,9731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,862
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 369798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/369798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 803/429,9731/862 is 1/369798
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 429,862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,862) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,862) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,862) = ( 429 × 862 ) / 1
LCM(429,862) = 369798 / 1
LCM(429,862) = 369798
