Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 932,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 932,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 898,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 453490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/453490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 932/898,257/505 is 1/453490
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 898,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(898,505) = ( 898 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(898,505) = 453490 / 1
LCM(898,505) = 453490
