Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 359,329 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 359,329 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 868,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/217868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 359/868,329/251 is 1/217868
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 868,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(868,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(868,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(868,251) = ( 868 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(868,251) = 217868 / 1
LCM(868,251) = 217868
