Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 664,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 664,640 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42777
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/42777
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 664/49,640/873 is 8/42777
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 49,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,873) = ( 49 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(49,873) = 42777 / 1
LCM(49,873) = 42777
