Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 798,9873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 798,9873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 798/41,9873/285 is 3/11685
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 41,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,285) = ( 41 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(41,285) = 11685 / 1
LCM(41,285) = 11685
