Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,5844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,5844 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 205,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/52685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/205,5844/257 is 12/52685
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 205,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(205,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(205,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(205,257) = ( 205 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(205,257) = 52685 / 1
LCM(205,257) = 52685
