:1,1559
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1936,1559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1936,1559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 621,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 522261
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/522261
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1936/621,1559/841 is 1/522261
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 621,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(621,841) = ( 621 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(621,841) = 522261 / 1
LCM(621,841) = 522261
