We found the factors 785,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 785,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 839,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 815508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/815508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 785/839,179/972 is 1/815508
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 839,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,972) = ( 839 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(839,972) = 815508 / 1
LCM(839,972) = 815508
