Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,489 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,489 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 596,830
2 | 596, 830 |
298, 415 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 298 x 415 = 247340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/247340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/596,489/830 is 3/247340
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 596,830 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,830) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,830) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(596,830) = ( 596 × 830 ) / 2
LCM(596,830) = 494680 / 2
LCM(596,830) = 247340
