Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 77,742,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 77,742,959 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,383,764
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172348468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/172348468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/589,742/383,959/764 is 7/172348468
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 589,383,764 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,383,764) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,383,764) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,383,764) = ( 589 × 383 × 764 ) / 1
LCM(589,383,764) = 172348468 / 1
LCM(589,383,764) = 172348468
