:1,2,11,22,89,178,979,1958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7323,1958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7323,1958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/215964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7323/857,1958/252 is 1/215964
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 857,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,252) = ( 857 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(857,252) = 215964 / 1
LCM(857,252) = 215964
