Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1164,7464 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1164,7464 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,686
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/279202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1164/407,7464/686 is 12/279202
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 407,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,686) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,686) = ( 407 × 686 ) / 1
LCM(407,686) = 279202 / 1
LCM(407,686) = 279202
