:1,431
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 862,431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 862,431 is 431.
Lets's calculate LCM of 349,665
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 431/232085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 862/349,431/665 is 431/232085
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 349,665 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,665) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,665) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,665) = ( 349 × 665 ) / 1
LCM(349,665) = 232085 / 1
LCM(349,665) = 232085
