Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 899,118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 899,118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,519
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 382503
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/382503
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 899/737,118/519 is 1/382503
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 737,519 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,519) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,519) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,519) = ( 737 × 519 ) / 1
LCM(737,519) = 382503 / 1
LCM(737,519) = 382503
