So the greatest common factor 918,835 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 835,501
167 | 835, 501 |
5, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 167 x 5 x 3 = 2505
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2505
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/835,835/501 is 1/2505
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 835,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,501) = 167
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,501) x common factors =167 x 1 = 167
LCM(835,501) = ( 835 × 501 ) / 167
LCM(835,501) = 418335 / 167
LCM(835,501) = 2505
