So the greatest common factor 245,989 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,698
2 | 428, 698 |
214, 349 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 214 x 349 = 149372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/428,989/698 is 1/149372
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 428,698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,698) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,698) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(428,698) = ( 428 × 698 ) / 2
LCM(428,698) = 298744 / 2
LCM(428,698) = 149372
