We found the factors 788,275 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 788,275 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 436,436
2 | 436, 436 |
2 | 218, 218 |
109 | 109, 109 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 109 x 1 x 1 = 436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/436,275/436 is 1/436
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 436,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,436) = 436
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,436) x common factors =436 x 1 = 436
LCM(436,436) = ( 436 × 436 ) / 436
LCM(436,436) = 190096 / 436
LCM(436,436) = 436
