Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 264,762 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 264,762 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 846,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 339246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/339246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/846,762/401 is 6/339246
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 846,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(846,401) = ( 846 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(846,401) = 339246 / 1
LCM(846,401) = 339246
