:1,229
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 719511
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/719511
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/971,229/741 is 1/719511
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 971,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,741) = ( 971 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(971,741) = 719511 / 1
LCM(971,741) = 719511
