Now, list down the factors of 752
:1,2,4,8,16,47,94,188,376,752
Now, list down the factors of 879
:1,3,293,879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 752,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 752,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/164735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 752/701,879/235 is 1/164735
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 701,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,235) = ( 701 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(701,235) = 164735 / 1
LCM(701,235) = 164735
