Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 342,652 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 342,652 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 964,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 253532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/253532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/964,652/263 is 2/253532
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 964,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(964,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(964,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(964,263) = ( 964 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(964,263) = 253532 / 1
LCM(964,263) = 253532
