Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 489,358 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 489,358 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 734,402
2 | 734, 402 |
367, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 367 x 201 = 147534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/147534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 489/734,358/402 is 1/147534
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 734,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(734,402) = ( 734 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(734,402) = 295068 / 2
LCM(734,402) = 147534
