So the greatest common factor 441,898 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 708,159
3 | 708, 159 |
236, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 236 x 53 = 37524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 441/708,898/159 is 1/37524
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 708,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(708,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(708,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(708,159) = ( 708 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(708,159) = 112572 / 3
LCM(708,159) = 37524
