:1,13,61,793
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 244,793 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 244,793 is 61.
Lets's calculate LCM of 874,408
2 | 874, 408 |
437, 204 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 204 = 178296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 61/178296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 244/874,793/408 is 61/178296
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 874,408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,408) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,408) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,408) = ( 874 × 408 ) / 2
LCM(874,408) = 356592 / 2
LCM(874,408) = 178296
