Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 951,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 951,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 888,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 373848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/373848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 951/888,697/421 is 1/373848
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 888,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(888,421) = ( 888 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(888,421) = 373848 / 1
LCM(888,421) = 373848
