:1,1721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8958,1721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8958,1721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246015
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/246015
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8958/315,1721/781 is 1/246015
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 315,781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,781) = ( 315 × 781 ) / 1
LCM(315,781) = 246015 / 1
LCM(315,781) = 246015
