Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 688,4936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 688,4936 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 812,8731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7089572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/7089572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/812,4936/8731 is 8/7089572
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 812,8731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,8731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,8731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(812,8731) = ( 812 × 8731 ) / 1
LCM(812,8731) = 7089572 / 1
LCM(812,8731) = 7089572
