:1,2,431,862
Now, list down the factors of 141
:1,3,47,141
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 862,141 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 862,141 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 570894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/570894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 862/986,141/579 is 1/570894
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 986,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,579) = ( 986 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(986,579) = 570894 / 1
LCM(986,579) = 570894
