Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 942,785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 942,785 is 157.
Lets's calculate LCM of 104,385
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 157/40040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/104,785/385 is 157/40040
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 104,385 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,385) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,385) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(104,385) = ( 104 × 385 ) / 1
LCM(104,385) = 40040 / 1
LCM(104,385) = 40040
