∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 446
:1,2,223,446
Now, list down the factors of 842
:1,2,421,842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 446,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 446,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 716,519
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371604
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/371604
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 446/716,842/519 is 2/371604
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 716,519 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,519) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,519) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(716,519) = ( 716 × 519 ) / 1
LCM(716,519) = 371604 / 1
LCM(716,519) = 371604
