Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 397,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 397,589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 842,693
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 583506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/583506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 397/842,589/693 is 1/583506
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 842,693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,693) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,693) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,693) = ( 842 × 693 ) / 1
LCM(842,693) = 583506 / 1
LCM(842,693) = 583506
