Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 888,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 888,259 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 936,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 702936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/702936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/936,259/751 is 37/702936
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 936,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(936,751) = ( 936 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(936,751) = 702936 / 1
LCM(936,751) = 702936
