:1,2897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1758,2897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1758,2897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 629433
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/629433
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1758/721,2897/873 is 1/629433
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 721,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,873) = ( 721 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(721,873) = 629433 / 1
LCM(721,873) = 629433
