Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 214,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 214,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,842
2 | 486, 842 |
243, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 243 x 421 = 204606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/204606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/486,697/842 is 1/204606
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 486,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(486,842) = ( 486 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(486,842) = 409212 / 2
LCM(486,842) = 204606
