Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 735,798 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 735,798 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/146850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/550,798/267 is 21/146850
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 550,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(550,267) = ( 550 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(550,267) = 146850 / 1
LCM(550,267) = 146850
