Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 956,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 956,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 344839
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/344839
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 956/517,237/667 is 1/344839
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 517,667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,667) = ( 517 × 667 ) / 1
LCM(517,667) = 344839 / 1
LCM(517,667) = 344839
