Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2639,2430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2639,2430 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 202818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/202818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2639/878,2430/231 is 1/202818
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 878,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(878,231) = ( 878 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(878,231) = 202818 / 1
LCM(878,231) = 202818
