Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 860,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 860,562 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,9178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 284518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/284518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/31,562/9178 is 2/284518
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 31,9178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,9178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,9178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,9178) = ( 31 × 9178 ) / 1
LCM(31,9178) = 284518 / 1
LCM(31,9178) = 284518
