Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,571 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,571 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/72,571/373 is 1/26856
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 72,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,373) = ( 72 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(72,373) = 26856 / 1
LCM(72,373) = 26856
