We found the factors 888,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 888,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 777,576
3 | 777, 576 |
259, 192 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 259 x 192 = 149184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/777,879/576 is 3/149184
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 777,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(777,576) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(777,576) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(777,576) = ( 777 × 576 ) / 3
LCM(777,576) = 447552 / 3
LCM(777,576) = 149184
