Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6156,9888 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6156,9888 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/165886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6156/578,9888/287 is 12/165886
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 578,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,287) = ( 578 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(578,287) = 165886 / 1
LCM(578,287) = 165886
