Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 949,398 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 949,398 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194889
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/194889
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/389,398/501 is 1/194889
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 389,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,501) = ( 389 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(389,501) = 194889 / 1
LCM(389,501) = 194889
