The factors of 397 are 1, 397
The HCF of 850,397 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 850,397
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 850
:1,2,5,10,17,25,34,50,85,170,425,850
Now, list down the factors of 397
:1,397
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,397 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,397 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 961224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/961224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/968,397/993 is 1/961224
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 968,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,993) = ( 968 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(968,993) = 961224 / 1
LCM(968,993) = 961224
