:1,397
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 890,397 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 890,397 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 702254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/702254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 890/721,397/974 is 1/702254
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 721,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,974) = ( 721 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(721,974) = 702254 / 1
LCM(721,974) = 702254
