Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 289,8940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 289,8940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 530,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 382130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/382130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 289/530,8940/721 is 1/382130
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 530,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(530,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(530,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(530,721) = ( 530 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(530,721) = 382130 / 1
LCM(530,721) = 382130
