We found the factors 330,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 330,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,642
2 | 704, 642 |
352, 321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 352 x 321 = 225984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/225984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 330/704,879/642 is 3/225984
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 704,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(704,642) = ( 704 × 642 ) / 2
LCM(704,642) = 451968 / 2
LCM(704,642) = 225984
