Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,809 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,809 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 509,642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 326778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/326778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/509,809/642 is 1/326778
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 509,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,642) = ( 509 × 642 ) / 1
LCM(509,642) = 326778 / 1
LCM(509,642) = 326778
