Lets's calculate GCF of 857,600
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 857
:1,857
Now, list down the factors of 600
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,150,200,300,600
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 857,600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 857,600 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/247932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 857/873,600/284 is 1/247932
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 873,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,284) = ( 873 × 284 ) / 1
LCM(873,284) = 247932 / 1
LCM(873,284) = 247932
