Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 221,794 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 221,794 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 879,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 650460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/650460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 221/879,794/740 is 1/650460
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 879,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,740) = ( 879 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(879,740) = 650460 / 1
LCM(879,740) = 650460
