Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4791,1979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4791,1979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 745,8617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6419665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6419665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4791/745,1979/8617 is 1/6419665
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 745,8617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(745,8617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(745,8617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(745,8617) = ( 745 × 8617 ) / 1
LCM(745,8617) = 6419665 / 1
LCM(745,8617) = 6419665
