Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 529,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 529,878 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,990
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 713790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/713790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 529/721,878/990 is 1/713790
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 721,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,990) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,990) = ( 721 × 990 ) / 1
LCM(721,990) = 713790 / 1
LCM(721,990) = 713790
