Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 949,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 949,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 716,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/716,173/241 is 1/172556
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 716,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(716,241) = ( 716 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(716,241) = 172556 / 1
LCM(716,241) = 172556
