Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 873,949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 873,949 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/171228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/228,949/751 is 1/171228
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 228,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(228,751) = ( 228 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(228,751) = 171228 / 1
LCM(228,751) = 171228
