Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 378,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 378,208 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,673
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/336500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/500,208/673 is 2/336500
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 500,673 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,673) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,673) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,673) = ( 500 × 673 ) / 1
LCM(500,673) = 336500 / 1
LCM(500,673) = 336500
