Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,386 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,386 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 654,598
2 | 654, 598 |
327, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 327 x 299 = 195546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/195546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/654,386/598 is 2/195546
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 654,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(654,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(654,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(654,598) = ( 654 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(654,598) = 391092 / 2
LCM(654,598) = 195546
