Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 342,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 342,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,730
2 | 722, 730 |
361, 365 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 365 = 263530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/263530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/722,143/730 is 1/263530
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 722,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,730) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,730) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,730) = ( 722 × 730 ) / 2
LCM(722,730) = 527060 / 2
LCM(722,730) = 263530
