Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8437,7929 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8437,7929 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 391,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 257669
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/257669
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8437/391,7929/659 is 1/257669
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 391,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,659) = ( 391 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(391,659) = 257669 / 1
LCM(391,659) = 257669
