So the greatest common factor 783,444 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 663,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171717
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/171717
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 783/663,444/259 is 3/171717
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 663,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(663,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(663,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(663,259) = ( 663 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(663,259) = 171717 / 1
LCM(663,259) = 171717
