Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 417,8523 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 417,8523 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 484620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/484620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 417/492,8523/985 is 3/484620
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 492,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,985) = ( 492 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(492,985) = 484620 / 1
LCM(492,985) = 484620
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
