Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 744,391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/290904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/744,979/391 is 1/290904
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 744,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(744,391) = ( 744 × 391 ) / 1
LCM(744,391) = 290904 / 1
LCM(744,391) = 290904
