So the greatest common factor 828,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,147
3 | 588, 147 |
7 | 196, 49 |
7 | 28, 7 |
4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 7 x 4 x 1 = 588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 828/588,879/147 is 3/588
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 588,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,147) = 147
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,147) x common factors =147 x 1 = 147
LCM(588,147) = ( 588 × 147 ) / 147
LCM(588,147) = 86436 / 147
LCM(588,147) = 588
