Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 172,749 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 172,749 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 764,893
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 682252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/682252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/764,749/893 is 1/682252
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 764,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,893) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,893) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(764,893) = ( 764 × 893 ) / 1
LCM(764,893) = 682252 / 1
LCM(764,893) = 682252
