Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 283,672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 283,672 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 120,891
3 | 120, 891 |
40, 297 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 40 x 297 = 35640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 283/120,672/891 is 1/35640
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 120,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,891) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,891) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(120,891) = ( 120 × 891 ) / 3
LCM(120,891) = 106920 / 3
LCM(120,891) = 35640
