Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,526 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,8463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/169260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/20,526/8463 is 1/169260
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 20,8463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,8463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,8463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,8463) = ( 20 × 8463 ) / 1
LCM(20,8463) = 169260 / 1
LCM(20,8463) = 169260
