Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,937 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,937 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 712,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 255608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/255608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/712,937/359 is 1/255608
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 712,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(712,359) = ( 712 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(712,359) = 255608 / 1
LCM(712,359) = 255608
