:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 684,879
3 | 684, 879 |
228, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 228 x 293 = 200412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/684,976/879 is 1/200412
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 684,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(684,879) = ( 684 × 879 ) / 3
LCM(684,879) = 601236 / 3
LCM(684,879) = 200412
