:1,5,13,65,169,845
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 365,845 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 365,845 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,458
2 | 746, 458 |
373, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 229 = 170834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/170834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 365/746,845/458 is 5/170834
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 746,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,458) = ( 746 × 458 ) / 2
LCM(746,458) = 341668 / 2
LCM(746,458) = 170834
