So the greatest common factor 721,626 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 889,189
7 | 889, 189 |
127, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 127 x 27 = 24003
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24003
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/889,626/189 is 1/24003
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 889,189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,189) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,189) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(889,189) = ( 889 × 189 ) / 7
LCM(889,189) = 168021 / 7
LCM(889,189) = 24003
