:1,2,7,14,41,82,287,574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 364,574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 364,574 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 803112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/803112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 364/872,574/921 is 14/803112
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 872,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,921) = ( 872 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(872,921) = 803112 / 1
LCM(872,921) = 803112
