Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 505,546 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 505,546 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,187
11 | 847, 187 |
77, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 77 x 17 = 14399
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14399
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 505/847,546/187 is 1/14399
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 847,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,187) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,187) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(847,187) = ( 847 × 187 ) / 11
LCM(847,187) = 158389 / 11
LCM(847,187) = 14399
