Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 388,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/128428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/388,237/331 is 3/128428
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 388,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(388,331) = ( 388 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(388,331) = 128428 / 1
LCM(388,331) = 128428
