:1,8861
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8704,8861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8704,8861 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,863
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242503
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/242503
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8704/281,8861/863 is 1/242503
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 281,863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,863) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,863) = ( 281 × 863 ) / 1
LCM(281,863) = 242503 / 1
LCM(281,863) = 242503
