Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 892,262
2 | 892, 262 |
446, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 446 x 131 = 116852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/892,851/262 is 1/116852
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 892,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(892,262) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(892,262) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(892,262) = ( 892 × 262 ) / 2
LCM(892,262) = 233704 / 2
LCM(892,262) = 116852
