So the greatest common factor 857,400 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,309
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224643
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/224643
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 857/727,400/309 is 1/224643
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 727,309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,309) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,309) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,309) = ( 727 × 309 ) / 1
LCM(727,309) = 224643 / 1
LCM(727,309) = 224643
