:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 834,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 834,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 772,772
2 | 772, 772 |
2 | 386, 386 |
193 | 193, 193 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 193 x 1 x 1 = 772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 834/772,971/772 is 1/772
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 772,772 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,772) = 772
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,772) x common factors =772 x 1 = 772
LCM(772,772) = ( 772 × 772 ) / 772
LCM(772,772) = 595984 / 772
LCM(772,772) = 772
