:1,887
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,887 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,887 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 876,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 866364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/866364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/876,887/989 is 1/866364
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 876,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,989) = ( 876 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(876,989) = 866364 / 1
LCM(876,989) = 866364
