Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 485,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 485,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 687554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/687554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 485/938,421/733 is 1/687554
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 938,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,733) = ( 938 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(938,733) = 687554 / 1
LCM(938,733) = 687554
