Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,609 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 783,284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 222372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/222372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/783,609/284 is 21/222372
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 783,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(783,284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(783,284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(783,284) = ( 783 × 284 ) / 1
LCM(783,284) = 222372 / 1
LCM(783,284) = 222372
