1,3,9,29,87,261

Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 87,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,261 is 87.

Lets's calculate LCM of 751,842

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 632342

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 87/632342

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/751,261/842 is 87/632342

Least Common Multiple of 751,842 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 751,842 with GCF Formula

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 751,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(751,842) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(751,842) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(751,842) = ( 751 × 842 ) / 1

LCM(751,842) = 632342 / 1

LCM(751,842) = 632342
