:1,991
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 270,991 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 270,991 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 821,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 607540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/607540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/821,991/740 is 1/607540
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 821,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,740) = ( 821 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(821,740) = 607540 / 1
LCM(821,740) = 607540
