We found the factors 262,1817 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,1817 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 970,498
2 | 970, 498 |
485, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 485 x 249 = 241530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/241530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/970,1817/498 is 1/241530
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 970,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(970,498) = ( 970 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(970,498) = 483060 / 2
LCM(970,498) = 241530
