1,2,23,43,46,86,989,1978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3475,1978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3475,1978 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,913
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 659186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/659186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3475/722,1978/913 is 1/659186
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 722,913 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,913) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,913) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(722,913) = ( 722 × 913 ) / 1
LCM(722,913) = 659186 / 1
LCM(722,913) = 659186
