Lets's calculate GCF of 831,4720
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 831
:1,3,277,831
Now, list down the factors of 4720
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,59,80,118,236,295,472,590,944,1180,2360,4720
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 831,4720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 831,4720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 564104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/564104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/659,4720/856 is 1/564104
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 659,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,856) = ( 659 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(659,856) = 564104 / 1
LCM(659,856) = 564104
