Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 774,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 774,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 563,372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/209436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 774/563,237/372 is 3/209436
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 563,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(563,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(563,372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(563,372) = ( 563 × 372 ) / 1
LCM(563,372) = 209436 / 1
LCM(563,372) = 209436
