Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 293,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 293,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 499,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/472054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/499,873/946 is 1/472054
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 499,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,946) = ( 499 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(499,946) = 472054 / 1
LCM(499,946) = 472054
