Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,665
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 422940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/422940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/636,873/665 is 3/422940
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 636,665 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,665) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,665) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(636,665) = ( 636 × 665 ) / 1
LCM(636,665) = 422940 / 1
LCM(636,665) = 422940
