So the greatest common factor 260,957 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 896,791
7 | 896, 791 |
128, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 128 x 113 = 101248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/896,957/791 is 1/101248
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 896,791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,791) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,791) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(896,791) = ( 896 × 791 ) / 7
LCM(896,791) = 708736 / 7
LCM(896,791) = 101248
