Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,788 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,788 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 229912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/229912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/232,788/991 is 2/229912
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 232,991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,991) = ( 232 × 991 ) / 1
LCM(232,991) = 229912 / 1
LCM(232,991) = 229912
