Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8609,3172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8609,3172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,795
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 581145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/581145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8609/731,3172/795 is 1/581145
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 731,795 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,795) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,795) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,795) = ( 731 × 795 ) / 1
LCM(731,795) = 581145 / 1
LCM(731,795) = 581145
