Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,592
2 | 342, 592 |
171, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 296 = 101232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/342,697/592 is 1/101232
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 342,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,592) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,592) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,592) = ( 342 × 592 ) / 2
LCM(342,592) = 202464 / 2
LCM(342,592) = 101232
