We found the factors 828,7888 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 828,7888 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293447
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/293447
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 828/407,7888/721 is 4/293447
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 407,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,721) = ( 407 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(407,721) = 293447 / 1
LCM(407,721) = 293447
