:1,3,263,789
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 876,789 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 876,789 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/40,789/517 is 3/20680
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 40,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,517) = ( 40 × 517 ) / 1
LCM(40,517) = 20680 / 1
LCM(40,517) = 20680
