We found the factors 8888,1008 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8888,1008 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 392,629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/246568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8888/392,1008/629 is 8/246568
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 392,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(392,629) = ( 392 × 629 ) / 1
LCM(392,629) = 246568 / 1
LCM(392,629) = 246568
