Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,206 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 704417
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/704417
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/977,206/721 is 2/704417
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 977,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,721) = ( 977 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(977,721) = 704417 / 1
LCM(977,721) = 704417
