Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,308
2 | 942, 308 |
471, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 154 = 145068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/145068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/942,973/308 is 1/145068
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 942,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,308) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,308) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,308) = ( 942 × 308 ) / 2
LCM(942,308) = 290136 / 2
LCM(942,308) = 145068
