Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 949,815 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 949,815 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,941
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/223958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/238,815/941 is 1/223958
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 238,941 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,941) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,941) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,941) = ( 238 × 941 ) / 1
LCM(238,941) = 223958 / 1
LCM(238,941) = 223958
