1,3,5,15,19,57,95,285
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 880,285 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 880,285 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 337464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/337464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 880/872,285/387 is 5/337464
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 872,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,387) = ( 872 × 387 ) / 1
LCM(872,387) = 337464 / 1
LCM(872,387) = 337464
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
