Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 466,535 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 466,535 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,742
2 | 642, 742 |
321, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 321 x 371 = 238182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/238182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/642,535/742 is 1/238182
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 642,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(642,742) = ( 642 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(642,742) = 476364 / 2
LCM(642,742) = 238182
