:1,13,67,871
Now, list down the factors of 395
:1,5,79,395
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 871,395 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 871,395 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/232,395/749 is 1/173768
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 232,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,749) = ( 232 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(232,749) = 173768 / 1
LCM(232,749) = 173768
