Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 979,461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 979,461 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 562,333
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 979/562,461/333 is 1/187146
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 562,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(562,333) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(562,333) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(562,333) = ( 562 × 333 ) / 1
LCM(562,333) = 187146 / 1
LCM(562,333) = 187146
