:1,2,83,166
Now, list down the factors of 889
:1,7,127,889
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,889 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,889 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 741,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276393
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/276393
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/741,889/373 is 1/276393
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 741,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(741,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(741,373) = ( 741 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(741,373) = 276393 / 1
LCM(741,373) = 276393
