Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,820 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,820 is 82.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 82/232492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/884,820/263 is 82/232492
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 884,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,263) = ( 884 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(884,263) = 232492 / 1
LCM(884,263) = 232492
