1,3,1621,4863
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 576,4863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 576,4863 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,1421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1399685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1399685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/985,4863/1421 is 3/1399685
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 985,1421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,1421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,1421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,1421) = ( 985 × 1421 ) / 1
LCM(985,1421) = 1399685 / 1
LCM(985,1421) = 1399685
