Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 858,3879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 858,3879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,782
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 157182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/157182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 858/201,3879/782 is 3/157182
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 201,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,782) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,782) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,782) = ( 201 × 782 ) / 1
LCM(201,782) = 157182 / 1
LCM(201,782) = 157182
