:1,3,13,23,39,69,299,897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 863,897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 863,897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/266220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 863/540,897/493 is 1/266220
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 540,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(540,493) = ( 540 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(540,493) = 266220 / 1
LCM(540,493) = 266220
