Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 917,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 917,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 682073
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/682073
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 917/701,218/973 is 1/682073
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 701,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,973) = ( 701 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(701,973) = 682073 / 1
LCM(701,973) = 682073
