Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 989,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 989,878 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,693
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 603603
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/603603
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 989/871,878/693 is 1/603603
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 871,693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,693) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,693) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,693) = ( 871 × 693 ) / 1
LCM(871,693) = 603603 / 1
LCM(871,693) = 603603
