So the greatest common factor 668,320 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 883,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 640175
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/640175
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/883,320/725 is 4/640175
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 883,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,725) = ( 883 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(883,725) = 640175 / 1
LCM(883,725) = 640175
