Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 294,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 294,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,801
3 | 720, 801 |
3 | 240, 267 |
80, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 80 x 89 = 64080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/720,401/801 is 1/64080
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 720,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,801) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,801) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(720,801) = ( 720 × 801 ) / 9
LCM(720,801) = 576720 / 9
LCM(720,801) = 64080
