:1,3,401,1203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8733,1203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8733,1203 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/196416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8733/704,1203/279 is 3/196416
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 704,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,279) = ( 704 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(704,279) = 196416 / 1
LCM(704,279) = 196416
