Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 398,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 398,720 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,653
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/57464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/88,720/653 is 2/57464
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 88,653 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,653) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,653) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,653) = ( 88 × 653 ) / 1
LCM(88,653) = 57464 / 1
LCM(88,653) = 57464
