Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 725,139 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 725,139 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 842,425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 357850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/357850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/842,139/425 is 1/357850
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 842,425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,425) = ( 842 × 425 ) / 1
LCM(842,425) = 357850 / 1
LCM(842,425) = 357850
