Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 242,769 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,769 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,726
2 | 982, 726 |
491, 363 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 363 = 356466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/356466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/982,769/726 is 1/356466
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 982,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,726) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,726) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,726) = ( 982 × 726 ) / 2
LCM(982,726) = 712932 / 2
LCM(982,726) = 356466
