We found the factors 724,359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 724,359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,561
11 | 88, 561 |
8, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 8 x 51 = 4488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 724/88,359/561 is 1/4488
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 88,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,561) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,561) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(88,561) = ( 88 × 561 ) / 11
LCM(88,561) = 49368 / 11
LCM(88,561) = 4488
