Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 408,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 408,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,916
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/79,229/916 is 1/72364
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 79,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,916) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,916) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,916) = ( 79 × 916 ) / 1
LCM(79,916) = 72364 / 1
LCM(79,916) = 72364
