Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 453,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/453,218/442 is 1/200226
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 453,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(453,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(453,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(453,442) = ( 453 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(453,442) = 200226 / 1
LCM(453,442) = 200226
