Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 144,3400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 144,3400 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,3587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3181669
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3181669
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/887,3400/3587 is 8/3181669
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 887,3587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,3587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,3587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,3587) = ( 887 × 3587 ) / 1
LCM(887,3587) = 3181669 / 1
LCM(887,3587) = 3181669
