Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 644,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 644,874 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 964,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/386564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 644/964,874/401 is 46/386564
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 964,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(964,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(964,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(964,401) = ( 964 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(964,401) = 386564 / 1
LCM(964,401) = 386564
