Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7421,8839 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7421,8839 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 363,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 321981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/321981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7421/363,8839/887 is 1/321981
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 363,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(363,887) = ( 363 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(363,887) = 321981 / 1
LCM(363,887) = 321981
