Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 343,559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 343,559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,357
3 | 498, 357 |
166, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 166 x 119 = 59262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 343/498,559/357 is 1/59262
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 498,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(498,357) = ( 498 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(498,357) = 177786 / 3
LCM(498,357) = 59262
