Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 841,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 841,589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19809
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19809
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 841/71,589/279 is 1/19809
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 71,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,279) = ( 71 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(71,279) = 19809 / 1
LCM(71,279) = 19809
