Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 888,339 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 888,339 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,912
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 383952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/383952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/421,339/912 is 3/383952
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 421,912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,912) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,912) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,912) = ( 421 × 912 ) / 1
LCM(421,912) = 383952 / 1
LCM(421,912) = 383952
