Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 448,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 448,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 684,428
2 | 684, 428 |
2 | 342, 214 |
171, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 171 x 107 = 73188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/684,251/428 is 1/73188
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 684,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,428) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,428) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(684,428) = ( 684 × 428 ) / 4
LCM(684,428) = 292752 / 4
LCM(684,428) = 73188
