Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 956,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 956,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 145,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 956/145,731/847 is 1/122815
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 145,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(145,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(145,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(145,847) = ( 145 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(145,847) = 122815 / 1
LCM(145,847) = 122815
