Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 360,725 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 360,725 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,7791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 553161
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/553161
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/71,725/7791 is 5/553161
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 71,7791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,7791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,7791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,7791) = ( 71 × 7791 ) / 1
LCM(71,7791) = 553161 / 1
LCM(71,7791) = 553161
