Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 867,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 867,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,8675
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 364350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/364350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/42,179/8675 is 1/364350
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 42,8675 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,8675) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,8675) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,8675) = ( 42 × 8675 ) / 1
LCM(42,8675) = 364350 / 1
LCM(42,8675) = 364350
