1,3,1429,4287
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 887,4287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 887,4287 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 846,141
3 | 846, 141 |
47 | 282, 47 |
6, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 47 x 6 x 1 = 846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 887/846,4287/141 is 1/846
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 846,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,141) = 141
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,141) x common factors =141 x 1 = 141
LCM(846,141) = ( 846 × 141 ) / 141
LCM(846,141) = 119286 / 141
LCM(846,141) = 846
