Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 986,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 986,272 is 34.
Lets's calculate LCM of 643,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 569055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/569055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/643,272/885 is 34/569055
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 643,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,885) = ( 643 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(643,885) = 569055 / 1
LCM(643,885) = 569055
