So the greatest common factor 717,352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,959
7 | 231, 959 |
33, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 33 x 137 = 31647
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31647
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/231,352/959 is 1/31647
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 231,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,959) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,959) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(231,959) = ( 231 × 959 ) / 7
LCM(231,959) = 221529 / 7
LCM(231,959) = 31647
