Now, list down the factors of 316
:1,2,4,79,158,316
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 373,316 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 373,316 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 859,738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 633942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/633942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 373/859,316/738 is 1/633942
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 859,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,738) = ( 859 × 738 ) / 1
LCM(859,738) = 633942 / 1
LCM(859,738) = 633942
