Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 784,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 784,238 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 669,523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349887
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/349887
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 784/669,238/523 is 14/349887
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 669,523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(669,523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(669,523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(669,523) = ( 669 × 523 ) / 1
LCM(669,523) = 349887 / 1
LCM(669,523) = 349887
