Lets's calculate GCF of 186,706
2 | 186, 706 |
93, 353 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 186
:1,2,3,6,31,62,93,186
Now, list down the factors of 706
:1,2,353,706
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,706 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,706 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 326447
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/326447
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/503,706/649 is 2/326447
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 503,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,649) = ( 503 × 649 ) / 1
LCM(503,649) = 326447 / 1
LCM(503,649) = 326447
