We found the factors 778,3501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 778,3501 is 389.
Lets's calculate LCM of 129,617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 389/79593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 778/129,3501/617 is 389/79593
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 129,617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(129,617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(129,617) = ( 129 × 617 ) / 1
LCM(129,617) = 79593 / 1
LCM(129,617) = 79593
