We found the factors 345,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,146 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,608
2 | 878, 608 |
439, 304 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 439 x 304 = 266912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/266912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/878,146/608 is 1/266912
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 878,608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,608) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,608) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(878,608) = ( 878 × 608 ) / 2
LCM(878,608) = 533824 / 2
LCM(878,608) = 266912
