Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 527,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 527,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 899,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 382974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/382974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 527/899,257/426 is 1/382974
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 899,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(899,426) = ( 899 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(899,426) = 382974 / 1
LCM(899,426) = 382974
