Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 722,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 722,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 755,327
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/246885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 722/755,159/327 is 1/246885
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 755,327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(755,327) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(755,327) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(755,327) = ( 755 × 327 ) / 1
LCM(755,327) = 246885 / 1
LCM(755,327) = 246885
