:1,1223
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3540,1223 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3540,1223 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 766,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 656462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/656462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3540/766,1223/857 is 1/656462
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 766,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(766,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(766,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(766,857) = ( 766 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(766,857) = 656462 / 1
LCM(766,857) = 656462
