:1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 294,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 294,686 is 98.
Lets's calculate LCM of 983,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 451197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 98/451197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/983,686/459 is 98/451197
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 983,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(983,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(983,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(983,459) = ( 983 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(983,459) = 451197 / 1
LCM(983,459) = 451197
