Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 356,458 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 356,458 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 939,468
3 | 939, 468 |
313, 156 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 313 x 156 = 146484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/146484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/939,458/468 is 2/146484
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 939,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(939,468) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(939,468) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(939,468) = ( 939 × 468 ) / 3
LCM(939,468) = 439452 / 3
LCM(939,468) = 146484
