Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 844,535 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 844,535 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,4391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 316152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/316152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/72,535/4391 is 1/316152
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 72,4391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,4391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,4391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,4391) = ( 72 × 4391 ) / 1
LCM(72,4391) = 316152 / 1
LCM(72,4391) = 316152
