Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 111,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 111,974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 846,490
2 | 846, 490 |
423, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 423 x 245 = 207270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/207270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 111/846,974/490 is 1/207270
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 846,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,490) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,490) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(846,490) = ( 846 × 490 ) / 2
LCM(846,490) = 414540 / 2
LCM(846,490) = 207270
