So the greatest common factor 120,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 824,893
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 735832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/735832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/824,874/893 is 2/735832
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 824,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(824,893) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(824,893) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(824,893) = ( 824 × 893 ) / 1
LCM(824,893) = 735832 / 1
LCM(824,893) = 735832
