Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 721,827 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 721,827 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 584,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 166440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/584,827/285 is 1/166440
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 584,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(584,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(584,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(584,285) = ( 584 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(584,285) = 166440 / 1
LCM(584,285) = 166440
