:1,5,7,25,35,125,175,875
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 840,875 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 840,875 is 35.
Lets's calculate LCM of 761,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 210797
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/210797
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/761,875/277 is 35/210797
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 761,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,277) = ( 761 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(761,277) = 210797 / 1
LCM(761,277) = 210797
