So the greatest common factor 527,117 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 672,842
2 | 672, 842 |
336, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 336 x 421 = 282912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/282912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 527/672,117/842 is 1/282912
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 672,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(672,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(672,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(672,842) = ( 672 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(672,842) = 565824 / 2
LCM(672,842) = 282912
