:1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 962,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 962,222 is 74.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,329
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 286888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 74/286888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/872,222/329 is 74/286888
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 872,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,329) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,329) = ( 872 × 329 ) / 1
LCM(872,329) = 286888 / 1
LCM(872,329) = 286888
