Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 153,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 153,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 739,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 649581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/649581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 153/739,538/879 is 1/649581
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 739,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(739,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(739,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(739,879) = ( 739 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(739,879) = 649581 / 1
LCM(739,879) = 649581
