:1,5,179,895
Now, list down the factors of 716
:1,2,4,179,358,716
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,716 is 179.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,3991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 335244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 179/335244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/84,716/3991 is 179/335244
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 84,3991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,3991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,3991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(84,3991) = ( 84 × 3991 ) / 1
LCM(84,3991) = 335244 / 1
LCM(84,3991) = 335244
