Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 435,870
3 | 435, 870 |
5 | 145, 290 |
29 | 29, 58 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 29 x 1 x 2 = 870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/435,406/870 is 1/870
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 435,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,870) = 435
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,870) x common factors =435 x 1 = 435
LCM(435,870) = ( 435 × 870 ) / 435
LCM(435,870) = 378450 / 435
LCM(435,870) = 870
