Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 216,634 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 216,634 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/57702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/59,634/978 is 2/57702
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 59,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,978) = ( 59 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(59,978) = 57702 / 1
LCM(59,978) = 57702
