Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 257,366 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 257,366 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 776,530
2 | 776, 530 |
388, 265 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 388 x 265 = 205640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/205640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 257/776,366/530 is 1/205640
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 776,530 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(776,530) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(776,530) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(776,530) = ( 776 × 530 ) / 2
LCM(776,530) = 411280 / 2
LCM(776,530) = 205640
