:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 452,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 452,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 862,886
2 | 862, 886 |
431, 443 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 443 = 381866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/381866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 452/862,238/886 is 2/381866
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 862,886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,886) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,886) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,886) = ( 862 × 886 ) / 2
LCM(862,886) = 763732 / 2
LCM(862,886) = 381866
